The Stokes Cup is scheduled for Divisions 5, 6 and 7

The EW Foster Cup is scheduled for Divisions 2, 3 and 4

The Arthur Moore Cup, which is in progress includes the Premiership and Division 1

The Bill Walton Cup includes all teams

Will NRI reserves be dropped down a cup again?

Probably not - the dropping down was a County FA decision where they have a rule which precludes more than 1 team from a club being in a competition.

The basis of entry by divisional membership into Alliance Cup competitions is provided for in our Rules.

A similar issue exists with CSKA Carnabys and Kingsway wth the first team in D5 and the Reserves in D7 which places both teams in the Stokes Cup.

well i think if u gonna add new divisions u should add a cup aswell but it will never happen

thanks for clearing it up

When are these draws taking place ??? Anyone know ???

Gordon, we actually had this chat about CSKA and our ressies down the pub yesterday after training. Will it be possible for us to face each other in the first round or will we be kept apart unless necessary?

Cheers

All down to luck of the draw!

Absolutely correct - save the meeting for the Final?

so some div 4 teams have no chance in ew foster then

All teams have the same chance - whether they take it or not is what football is all about

when we were in the LSL with our reserves, they were in the division below us, and therefore we were in the same cup competition. we were convinced the league kept us apart because they didn't want one of the games as a 1st v 2nd team. But we both kept defying the odds until we met in the final at Holmes Park!

Wouldn't say that mate, if you get the luck of the draw early on then in a one off match anybody can beat anybody, we proved that against Advance!! Lost the 2 since which proves my point.

i suppose if you get drawn against a few div 4 sides in the early rounds (if you are also a div 4 side) then you have a good chance of at least quarter final / semi final spot. especially if other draws pitch div 2 v div 2 and div 3 v div 3. then some of the bigger guns would be knocked out early
