League Cup Draw

[Grounhopper Mark.]

Turning back into a straight knockout comp is the best decision from the league in years. Who'd really fancy playing APSA 4 times a season ?

 

 

We had to play them 5 times last season - League, League Cup and GB!!!

 

Witham can equal that Takeley x5, two seasons ago.

2 in the league

1 GBT semi.final

2 group stages

 

Agree with Syd, post 2 up. The only sensible decision. No offence guys but the esl is not the Champions League.

A Reserve Shield will also operate with ties on a home and away basis, draw to be made in August alongside the draw for the Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy.
