No league fixtures this week as attention moves to the cup competition.

For those new this year, the cup competition is a straight forward knockout competition. A draw will take place and the team with the highest score for the cup round will progress.

All teams that entered a prediction in weeks 1&2 are eligible for the cup competition so if you're a relative newcomer in recent weeks, i'm afraid its just the league for you.

So, the draw for the first round has been made...
