PA Cup First Round First Leg

[Blue Maniac]

The draw for the first round has been made. Here's how it'll work. The first round will consist of two legs. First leg will be 3rd-5th January 2014. Second leg will be 24th-26th January.

I'll assume your most recent league picks carry over until you replace them. Just so everyone knows what this means, I'll give an example. Gillingham v Wolves kicks off at 7.45 on the Friday. If Gillingham or Wolves are in your most recent valid picks, you have until 7.45 Friday to replace them. If you don't, they're locked in to your picks and cannot be removed. The first pick I receive from you before this time will be assumed to be a replacement.

Naming reserves is advisable, as I can't promise I'll be around for or notice abandonments or postponements. If no reserves are named and one of your games is called off or stopped, you'll need to replace them.


Also, please remember the proposed new scoring system is being trialled in this competition. Picking a team that beats a lower league side by a big margin can pay off as well as a cup upset. For full details, see the rules and format thread.

First leg:

Blue Maniac v Motown Fox
Bobbins v Dorset Fox
Dunmow Fox Jr v Blaby blue blood
foxybru v Joe_Fox
GazLCFC v beaumontfox

Some people might find it useful to know that there are also French Cup games this weekend.

Jeff; are you up for a friendly since we both have a walkover?

If he doesn't, you've both got the next four weeks off...

Huddersfield's late winner and Newport missing a late penalty cost me a lot of points though.

Bit of a sod wasn't it

I was gutted by that but now I know you had Grimsby too it doesn't matter a jot.I hereby apologise to the good people of Huddersfield for the awful things I shouted at the telly.I'm sure your relationships with your tiny dogs are in fact entirely wholesome.
