Dudley and Westy. I'd imagine two of the three ZL teams will draw each other.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Magic, Edgy and Olympic (or Jaffa's) draw the 3 ZL teams
Least we know magic wont get a bye, round of 16 getting interesting now.
We all know the draw is done in full vision and transparently. No offence to Dudley, but Azzuri v Dudley would be a nice little derby as would, Bero v Thornton , Magic v Jaffas , Maitland v Weston , Olymic v Buds , Valo v Belswans, Westy v Edgy. NNSW make this happen in your transparency and rename it derby day .
Sorry singo , I cant find you a derby
2 games away from the round of 8
looking forward to the possibility of coming down to Lake Macquarie Football Centre to get another touch up
Don't they purposely make sure a ZL team gets to the final eight?

If only, some cracker games there. Would love to see that be the draw and for me would enjoy seeing Maitland V Weston and Bero V Thornton all play at Pasadena. Haha
Not too sure I just thought Jesmond had a great run in the cup last year.
...............and Magic v Jaffas as the curtain raiser ?
Couldn't think of a better game to start the day off.
Anyone know who maitlands keeper was for their game against simba in FFA cup?
They can't, the draw can only have one NPL team against either newfm or zone.
Looked like a jockey.
You are thinking Magic with the Bye ha ha. If there are winners from the eight games played how do they get to six spots for the final eight for the June weekend
Last year, they played this round and then two more games were played in Round 4, with four other teams getting the bye. I got this screenshot of Pursuit of the Cup website to explain it...

What you're showing from last year Tye is when there were 23 teams left. Aren't there only 16 teams left now? So why would there be a need for a bye? Also what is this rubbish of " ensuring " a zone league team entry into the final 8. If NPL clubs are having to pay $2,500 each to enter the cup , shouldn't they be given every chance of making the last 2 spots and go on fox. How embarrassing was it last year when they ensured some lower division sides made the final 8 and Magic beat Westy 13-0.
15 teams and a bye by my count. Round 3 is on the left and Round 4 is on the right. I'm not sure if it'll be the same this year but that's what I thought their rules were. I think the draw should just be a straight knockout competition with no byes and no added loopholes. Maybe then we'd see Magic v Olympic in the Final Four instead of Westy. But at the end of the day, if the NPL sides are serious about making it to Fox Sports then they should be able to dispatch any team on their day.
Definitely 16 teams left. There were 15 winners from the weekend plus Belswans who had the bye so we should have a round of 16 next.It Will be interesting to see the " live Draw " when it is done. I agree with you Tye,the whole 16 teams should just be all put in the same draw. Clubs are playing for a massive prize at the end of the day. It is no longer a mickey mouse knock out run by NNSW like the old ARCTIC CUP OR SOLO CUP
Magic will still draw Beresfield, no disrespect Bero
And bero with the upset
