If those two go into the Cup, then you have 2 groups with 4, or you drop another 2 out. Which 2 would you propose should've been in the plate instead?
In my opinion - Cup, Plate & Shield. 3 tiers, 3 trophies.


I did see an email where Northern asked if any clubs would like to host the semis last weekend but none took the opportunity to make a bucket load of cash from their canteen. Both Cooks Hill and South Cardiff hosted the Plate semis
Cheers, that makes more sense.
