Alba Cup Draw

[CaleyMad]

The Alba cup draw will be today and that will be the first game of the season for us.

Does anybody know when about it will be announced?

[old caley girl]

Should be later on today. Says on SFL website that they will do the draw after the AGM so depends on when that starts/ends

[Alex MacLeod]

Just doesn't have the same ring to it as 'Bell's Cup'

[FortressICT]

Got to love the fixtures this cup can draw up. Home Vs Annan please :D .

[WYNESS101]

Hopefully the draw will be on Radio Scotland

[Jay_7]

I could be wrong here (I probably am wrong) but are we not one of the top seeds for the competition? As such, do we not get put into the competition at a much later date? (like the 3rd or 4th round or something)

[kencar]

IF it's the same as last year the teams are divided into 2 sections: North+East and South+West with one side (at random) in each section receiving a bye to the 2nd round.

Ties to be played on July 25th

Jay_7 I think your thinking of the Homecoming Cup ( formerely Tennents Scottish Cup )

Alba Cup is for SFL sides only

[Iain]

Dundee away please.

[DornochJAGGIE]

County away please

[WYNESS101]

Anyone know what time it will be made at?

No I'm thinking of the Alba Cup, formerly the Bells Challenge Cup. Obviously I'm wrong though so no drama.

[CaleyMad]

Raith away :D :D :D

and also the exact time of the draw has not been made clear but it will be sometime today after all meeting has finished.

It is depressing and it aint ideal but we cant do anything about it so we lets hope we can go far in these competitons and even try and win something then we will all be happy

[caleyrule]

Poor them.

But now we have more chance of winning it without Dunnde !

How is it poor Dundee? they dont play in this round but they play from the next round onwards
