Many thanks to all of you who have responded to my request for entries into this year’s Devon Cup Competitions.
I can now confirm that we have a total of 24 teams in the First team cups competitions and 14 teams in the Second team competition.
From a first team point of view, because of this we will have the three competitions initially with 8 teams in each of the following; Devon Senior Cup, Devon Intermediate Cup and the Devon Junior Cup. They will all start at the quarter final stage, then Semi-final and the Final.
The losing teams in the quarter final stage will then go into the Semi-finals for the Shield, Plate and Bowl respectively.
- The first date for the quarter finals will be Saturday the 5th of October.
- The Semi- Final will be Saturday the 8th February ( with the 22nd February as a back update)
- With the finals to take place on or around the 15th and the 29th of March (Yet to be finalised)
This should allow those clubs wishing to take part in the Papa John Competition the time available to do so.
