Yes the FFL Cup with all teams involved - a 68 v 68 knockout with the Winner entering the Cup proper and the Losers entering the Plate competition.

TROPHIES? - you got it, for both comps
CASH? - indeed, for both winners
HOW DOES IT WORK
Take your score for your team for the coming matchday over weekend of 3rd & 4th Feb and if you have scored more than the opposition the you are through. Please, please, please do not confuse with your weekly score as this midweek there were 8 Premiership matches that do not count for the Cup.

THEN WHAT
The Cup and Plate will follow a similar path - with 68 teams in each comp, we will hold a preliminary round involving 8 teams in each comp to reduce the size to 64 (4 teams eliminated). Then we go through the motions until the final in May.
