Any potential upsets in there? A little gutted to have drawn one of the favourites in the first round, would have liked to have gone a bit further.

Our ressies should be in there somewhere........

No they shouldnt... I thought I was only county comps that you had to be separated.

Just looked and our ressies are not in either at the moment....hopefully they have a bye...

It'll be interesting to see how they have improved.

Carnabys or NPE v Hotshots and St Marks v Wigston are the ties of the round I think.

there definetly a team to watch now!

With 2 of NPE, hotshots and Carnabys to go out first round, it should make this cup very interesting.

you can almost smell Holmes Park from here!

I'm just looking forward to playing a team other than NPE in the first round of the cup this season!!

Stokes cup has got gate hangs wells name all over it

that will take some engraving

Got a lot of good teams in this competition this year and looks quite wide open but like the look of Wigston Rangers, Humberstone 2000 and Kajima. Also have to echo what White Eagles has mention about the trio above - good to see 2 of the top 5-6 in this competiition leave early.

I think we will struggle to get past St. Marks in truth, missing a few players as of late. We will give it a go though.

Keep the faith Dan - with 24 goals already this season I fancy your chances!!

I would like white eagles 2 get to the final so I can try my hand at announcing the team

The tie between;

NRI Reserves v Guthlaxton OB

has been added to the EW Foster cup draw.

The reason for the omision from the original Foster draw is that NRI (first & REserves) asked for a free date on Sunday 27th November (the date of the first round) and so I've had to move the games.

The NRI game has been brought forward to this Sunday but this was not possible for NRI Reserves because Guthlaxton are playing a Billy Walton game this Sunday.

Hope this clears it up????

Spot on, cheers James. Hope our ressies can put out the favourites (?)

I'm hoping they dont make it past the 1st round...

Will be rooting for you Dan, im confident you can beat them and hope you do div 7 proud!

I'm gonna risk an early prediction of the hotshots making the final, watchin some of their games this year they look like theyv strengthened and settled the team down. With everyone available they would take some stopping!

it's st marks for me after seeing them sunday,they have signed some new players(including 2 of ours) and can turn out a strong side now.it could have been double figures against us .we put in our worst display of the season by far,three defeats in a row now and confidence a bit low,need to pull it round this week, oh s**t we've got saff lounge!

also got a sneaking suspicion npe will go a long way in it

dont worry about us too much at the moment, weve had more problems this season than some clubs have in 20 years, we will be back with a strong team but it will take a bit of time, we might have to take a few beatings before xmas but we will sort it

Cheers will be looking forward to our return fixture against you in a few weeks after the last game ended so closely.

this cups got a division 5 teams name all over it!

I personally fancy Npe or Hotshots whichever makes it through.

ooooooo controversial!hahaha have to wait and see should be a good cup! cant deny that div 5 is very competitive so its going to be the same in the cups we're in

If NPE get through Carnabys, I dont see Hotshots getting through.

Think you have a tough first game against Niffy A, they have had two 3-2 losses against two good teams in the league and there next games against you so i think they will be up for a win.

It will definitely be close, without a doubt, we lost 3-2 to Harrow in BW cup and then beat them on penos in the county cup, we also beat NRI reserves in the county cup 3-2 and Niffy have had 2 tight losses to NPE. Certainly should be a good match!

I know what you're sayong but I know they like this cup and quarter finalists last year with some arguably stronfer sides in (nri, saff etc..) And on top of that the team has strengthened A LOT. As most will know I'm not a hotshot player but knowing their best 11 on paper they'll take some stopping and I think this is a competition they'll really go for
