I understand that 62% of clubs have entered, but no idea of splits by level or region/ county.

Well for 50% of entrants from Level 7 down their season will end if they lose in Round 1 as its straight knockout. The Regional 1 & 2 Cups are pool based I think.

Most will won't they?
What else are we going to do in April - having the last league game of the season on 11 March is just barnmy - all our biggest bar takes are for league games in September/October and March/April as most spectators don't want to freeze there butt's off in the winter!

That would make sense. Does anyone know which clubs that have declared their intentions to enter ?

I know there is a glamour to a cup final.

However, there are weasel words in the announcement that it will be held at Twickenham or other prestigious stadium. So prepare for a trip to Darlington. :-)

I will also await with bated breath the scope of the travel bursary.



Regional 1 scheduled for 29th/30th April. Aren't England Women playing then against France? Curtain Raiser?

I know several players who enjoy playing thee, though as it was the Army v navy game they were talking about, perhaps it was the after game celebrations.

No, I want to see this be a good competition and not another farce from the RFU.

Just thought i'd start a thread in anticipation of the Pizza Trophy. Draw after the 11th of March fixtures and only the Cup competition ends at Twickenham (at least according to what's released). But looking forward to seeing how this works out (also will the club specific codes for cheap pizza be valid everywhere?).
