The Matches will be played in the week commencing the 21st September.
Each match will be polled for five days and the winners placed in the hat for the last 16 the following week. So on and so on until we reach the final two big boys in an epic EC cup final (or Superbowl for our US friends or All Ireland Hurling Final or canadian Ice Hockey finals or Aussie Rules thing etc etc etc) Anyway...you get the idea.
The draw produced a few interesting ties for the minnows in the competition, who seemed to draw each other. Its hard to see 'Elvis Live Bootleg' going any further. Some of the big fishes and blue chips have tough draws. Favourite, TYM is drawn away to Armed Forces and Brutal Youth could well give B&C a run for it's money. There are some very even matches that could go either way, such as MAIT against KOA.
The full draw is:
Imperial Bedroom V All This Useless Beauty
Get Happy!! V Spike
My Aim Is True V King of America
Blood and Chocolate V Brutal Youth
Armed Forces V This Year's Model
