Sealand Cup 2013

28.02.13

The draw for the 2013 renewal of the Sealand Cup took place on Saturday in the Bluebell Pub at Halkyn. We were going to carry out the draw the week before but Sandbach cried off our fixture and I do like to have one of the other teams involved in the draw as witnesses! The entrance fee for this season is the same as last – a recession busting £40, please make cheques payable to 'Convocation FC' or contact Mike Edwards if you prefer to do it electronically.

Anyway this season we have 9 teams in the competition – it was going to be 10 which was the original number but Sandbach dropped out at the last minute – so we have one group of 5 and another of 4.

The teams came out of the hat as follows:

GROUP 1 Halkyn Radbroke Hall Wirral Vets Northop Hall Nomads Convocation GROUP 2 Croft Northop Hall Old Boys Halton Castle Nomads Rhewl Vets

So, teams in group 1 will therefore play 4 times and those in group 2 playing 3, with those being drawn towards the top of their group playing their home games first.

So the fixtures end up like this:

GROUP 1 Saturday, April 6th 2013 Radbroke Hall 4-0 Northop Hall Nomads Wirral Vets 3-1 Halkyn Saturday, April 13th 2013 Convocation 0-1 Radbroke Hall Wirral Vets 3-1 Northop Hall Nomads Saturday, April 20th 2013 Northop Hall Nomads 4-2 Convocation Wednesday, April 24th 2013 Halkyn 0-3 Radbroke Hall Saturday, April 27th 2013 Convocation 3-3 Halkyn Radbroke Hall 3-3 Wirral Vets Monday, April 29th 2013 Wirral Vets v Convocation Wednesday, May 1st 2013 Northop Hall Nomads v Halkyn GROUP 2 Saturday, April 6th 2013 Rhewl Vets 2-2 Northop Hall Old Boys Warrington Croft 5-2 Halton Castle Nomads Saturday, April 13th 2013 Northop Hall Old Boys 2-1 Halton Castle Nomads Rhewl Vets 0-5 Warrington Croft Saturday, April 20th 2013 Warrington Croft 3-1 Northop Hall Old Boys Rhewl Vets 5-2 Halton Castle Nomads . . . . . . .
