League cup hots up after draw

Robert Dyas League Cup

The Isthmian League Cup's 2012 winners Bury Town will face either Maldon & Tiptree or Burnham Ramblers in the competition's Third Round if they can kick off this season's competition with a victory over AFC Sudbury.

Last season's winners Concord Rangers, 3-2 victors over Dulwich Hamlet in April's final at Maidstone United, miss out on the chance to defend their title after their Ryman Premier Play-off Final win over Lowestoft Town earned them promotion to Conference South.

The Third Round of the newly sponsored and renamed Robert Dyas Cup sees 16 ties scheduled to be played following the completion of the competition's opening rounds. For more details visit the fixtures pages under the 'Match Info' tab on the home page.
