We stepped into the competition for the first time last season and our young players performed with credit against Luton, who were promoted from League Two (we drew 2-2, losing on penalties), AFC Wimbledon of League One (lost 4-3) and Barnet of League Two (lost 2-1).
Lincoln City lifted the trophy after a 1-0 win against Shrewsbury at Wembley and we're one of 16 teams invited to play in 2018-19.
The competition follows the same format with one invited team in each of the 16 regionalised groups of four teams. We will play our three matches away with the top two teams from each group progressing to the knockout stage.
