can one of you mod ****s approve my FFA Cup Northern thread?
FFA Cup draw is being done at midday today.
There is an article about it on the FFA Cup website
http://www.theffacup.com.au/article/...tlzmbc47pb8n2b
Southern pool rd 1 has 44 entrants (NewFM and zone league teams - 22 games) then NPL clubs join in Rd 2 and play the winners of the first 9 games in rd 1.
They are live tweeting it and uploading a video later I believe.
Here's the draw off of NNSWF's twitter. They left out who the winner of Match 4 plays, most likely Hamilton Olympic. Not sure on how Matches 10-22 work out in the next round. They'd play each other but there's probably going to be a bye or two. Some interesting match-ups in Round 1 and potential match-ups in Round 2.

ZL1 GF rematch too
Some really great match ups in there!
Maryland vs. Wallsend derby and Swansea vs. Belswans derby should be crackers straight up.
Really tough First Round fixtures for the Zone League newboys Bolwarra and Hamilton Azzurri against Mayfield and Barnsley respectively. Will be interesting to see how these guys go against traditionally really strong clubs. Welcome to the FFA Cup lads
Forgot to mention that Matches 10-21 will see teams play each other. 10 plays 11, 12 plays 13, etc. Winner of Swansea v Belswans gets a Round 2 bye. Would be interesting tie between Magic and Hamilton Azzurri in Round 2 if both the newcomers go through.
I think NNSW should look at draw structure. Round 1 should be for league 2 and League 3 teams.
In round 2 ZPL and League one teams could join.
In round 3 NPL and New Fm could join.
Its a little ridiculas that a league 3 team could play an NPL team in second round.
thats what cup football is all about, structuring it so other teams get a free ride isn't cup football, your in it or your not,
