As the D Cup kicks off in Week 14 I thought it should be about time to begin a thread. The D Cup will be played over the following weeks, with replays being played in the week following the original tie:-

Week 14: Qualifying Round
Week 19: Round 1
Week 24: Round 2
Week 28: Round 3
Week 31: Quarter Finals
Week 35: Semi Finals
Week 39: Final

The draw for the Qualifying Round was made late last night under darkness and with no witnesses. Even still, none of my teams managed a bye

After both my teams going out in the qualifying round last year it's nice to see that skill has shone through this year

Errr yes

My second XI were busy in the Eggcup Cup. I had a 12 point lead after saturday, my opponent then got just 11 on sunday. A fine score of 0 would have seen me through and I managed to pick up no cards and I even scored a goal. But yes I still lost.

There would be some consolation to my second XI and third XI losing if I had a first XI worth talking about.....

Don't know if first round has been drawn yet but if it has any chance of posting on here as i have lost link to the DLA website and can't seem to get back on

Unlike murf both my teams managed to cruise into the first round

Still it's a long way down from here cheers Mr Andrew Wilson.

As with everything this season I've left things to the last minute although the website (www.drunkenleague.co.uk) is getting updated every Tuesday evening. I'm intending on getting the draw for the D Cup done in the next day or two and harrassment will make me do it quicker so feel free

You will tend to find out that my propensity to get things done depends on how I'm fairing in a competition and as all three of my teams made it past qualifying I'll get it done sooner rather than later.

Nasty multi-entrant

Only just realised that I got through. I don't think I've got close to a score like 67 at any other point during the season so bad luck MARTINI ON DA ROCK.

Role on the next round.

And I was aiming to go 1 better than last season as well! Well deserved Spiny.

Hot off the press, here's the draw for Round 1 of the D Cup:-

Blimey, is that last year's champion needing a 1st Round Replay? Surely the Sky cameras will be all over that one....

So, who won?
