With ten teams from our division in the next round there is a good chance we will be drawn against one of them. Corby perhaps???

Probably the worst cup draw I've ever seen overall with a real lack of imagination with regards regionalisation. The overwhelming majority of ties appear to be teams from the same leagues playing each other. In our league for example, of the 10 teams, 8 face each other!

I did think it a little odd that they have had 2 rounds (3 actually) purely consisting of Step 4 sides, which won't have helped matters.

On paper the draw itself looks OK for us. Coleshill's league form is poor with their only win coming on the opening day at Bourne. They are however still in both cup competitions.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Whilst not a great draw it’s one that is definitely winnable and a good run in the trophy would be most welcome. Have to agree though, the actual full draw is awful how it’s paired so many teams together from the same league.
