CONFERENCE 3 CUP ROUND ONE
It's season 20 of the conference 3 cup and 16 teams have signed up to try and win the cup. We kick off tomorrow with 8 great ties.....
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR ENTERING AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL
Rathpeacon vs Green Ducks
Last year's finalists Rathpeacon have a home tie agaisnt 3-2-1 leaders Green Ducks. Rathpeacon are on a terrible run losing 5 of their last 6 league games. The Ducks are unbeaten this season and will fancy their chances here.
The Rumour Mill vs Wizards
Possibly the tie of the round. Rumour Mill entertain the cup champions and current 3-1-1 leaders Wizards. Rumour Mill are on a good run with 6 league wins on the spin. They will need to be at their very best to win this one.
Toon Legends vs Dynamo Valley
Two lower league sides meet here in a tie that means one will be in the cup quarter finals and a potential big tie. Both teams are leading their divisions, 3-2-1 an 3-2-2 and on paper, little seperates them. This may need extra time.
CSI-Ramsgate vs Saiyan Warriors
An all top flight tie here. CSI have never won the cup but have come close on a few ocassions. Saiyan have been improving in recent seasons but have struggled this time round. Both teams could do with a good cup run. CSI will be favourites.
Black Star Knights vs Sandford St Martin
Another top flight tie as Black Star entertain Sandford St Martin. Black Star are enjoying a strong season and are second in 3-1-1. Sandford are having a mixed season but still could make the top 8. Black Star will expect to win but this could go either way.
Mmmrs Phoenix Pigs vs Dirtbox United
A potential banana skin tie for MMMMRS Phoenix Pigs. MMMMRS are having a strong season but Dirtbox are on a strong run and are second in 3-2-1. They will give a good game here but may not have enough firepower to knock out their seasoned opposition.
Great Yarmouth Town vs Hoarse Whisperers
A massive tie for Great Yarmouth as conference 3 kingpins Hoarse Whisperers come to town. Yarmouth are in great form and will surely make things difficult for their elite opponents but it's hard to see them stopping Hoarse in this one.
Texas Oilers vs england
Possibly one of the more intriguing ties. Texas Oilers of 3-2-1 enterian england of 3-1-1. Oilers will start as underdogs but england have struggled in the league this season and this tie could be a potential banana skin. England are just above the relegation zone, a cup run might boost their prospects of keeping their 3-1-1 status.
