Notes

  • With no response from BUCS as to how the draw is done, it seems strange that there are only three North vs South match ups , this could well be a coincidence from a random draw but Durhams Men’s and Women’s teams drew Edinburgh whilst Northumbria’s teams both drew Scottish sides.
  • Edinburgh managed to grab second place in the Premier North but have drawn Durham (from the Northern Conference 1A). Durham have yet to loose a game this season in both BUCS and National League Division 2, no doubt a tough draw.
Any thoughts? Any matchups of interest in your eyes? Who do you think will make it though to Final 8s in Sheffield?
