Well the Draw has been done and The Eagles are one step closer to the Final already this year having secured a bye through to the Quarter final stage alongside Hull & Swindon.

Match of the Preliminary Round has to be the All Elite League Club fixture of Sheffield v Wednesfield. A Match which I’m reliably informed has seen Wednesfield go through on each of the last four years they have met. Whilst I’m sure the South Coast derby will also produce an exciting match to see who gets the bragging rights between Exeter and Poole.

Full Draw as follows to be held 10th May 2014 (Elite League clubs automatically drawn away against Non-Elite Clubs in the first round)

• Bury v Coventry
• Exeter v Poole
• Hethersett v Leicester
• Sheffield v Wednesfield
• Stockport v Newport

Byes Direct to Quarter Final

• Hull
• Ipswich
• Swindon

Quarter Finals 10th August

Semi Finals and Finals 21st September (Exeter)

Good Luck to all those taking part and we look forward to finding out our opponents in due course.
