When is the next round drawn and how does it work
If what I have read is correct then there are six teams to be determined to represent Southern Pool and two from Northern Pool to make up the teams on qualifying weekend in June. I don't know how many have to be done but if there are three teams from lower division and three from NPL then it should go something like
Singleton - Qualified
Winner Belswans & Jesmond - Qualify
Winner Thornton & Westy - Qualify
Five NPL teams drawn to play each other with 4 going head to head with winners to qualify and fifth team direct qualification through the bye.
Other than that if it is to be all in the draw then there would be only four teams left meaning two luck losers to go through.
Have heard its an open draw, so all teams in the ring and whoever can play whoever.
Definitely not an open draw Go Away. The final 8 will be made up of 3 Npl clubs, 3 lower division clubs and 2 clubs from up north. So Singleton and the winners of the Westy/Thornton and Belswans/Jesmond will progress to the final 8. Then 1 Npl club will get the bye and the other 4 Npl teams will play off for the final 2 spots. Confirmed by nnsw today
Hilarious post. I wasnt suggesting that Northern actually have system where a team earns the bye. But it would be best way for it to be handled in my opinion.
Hands down the cup is poorly run by northern.
Plus, the bye is a luxury. Why shouldn't the team that was the most successful of the previous year be afforded the luxury? From all reports on this forum you dont get much for winning the GF or Minor Prem. This would be a nice added perk IMO.
No dount you probably wouldn't be happy with this comment "Winner". But i do think it is the best way to handle it.
