CHAIRMAN Colin Youngjohns has hailed Kidderminster Harriers' first-round draw in the Football League's Carling Cup.
After visiting Nottingham Forest last season, Harriers make another trip to a big Division One club in Ipswich Town.
The game is due to be played in the week beginning August 11.
Youngjohns said: "We are not going to win the League Cup so we might as well play somebody good early on.
"It could have been at home but there will be a bigger gate at their place."
Boss Ian Britton is set to meet for talks with potential signing Tony Barras who returns from holiday tomorrow.
The 32-year-old centre-back has been released by Walsall.
Meanwhile, former Harriers striker Ian Foster has signed a two-year deal with Conference title hopefuls Chester.
