We've got a few quid left over in the kitty after all the entry fees for the season have been collected. As a result, and in addition to our league competitions, I'll be running a League Cup and an FA Cup competition with €75 going to the winner of each.

They'll be knock-out competitions based on how many points you pick up on the cup weekends from your normal league predictions and bonus points. You'll be drawn against another player from the league and whoever picks up the most points over the relevant weekend will progress to the next round.

Joker scoreline points won't count. Matches can go to a replay but if the replay ends in a draw then the player with the most ten-point predictions in the season to date will go through (the closest to a penalty shoot out I can come up with....)

The League Cup draw has been completed with round one matches listed below. Look out for the first round results after the matches on the weekend of September 14th and 15th
