Draws gets league cup underway!

All 68 clubs started out on the road to follow in the footsteps of 2016-17 winners Bamber Bridge when they went into the hat for the preliminary and first round draws.

Like last season's EVO-STIK League North winners and losing finalists Grantham Town, the winners and runners-up will once again collect £2000 and £1000 in prize money respectively. Losing quarter-finalists will collect £250 while the losing semi-finalists will bank £500 each as sponsors Integro continue their long-running support for the EVO-STIK League's showpiece cup competition.

The 2017-18 competition will see the result of all ties decided by penalties if the scores are level after 90 minutes.
