National Cup preview: Quarter final line-up to be decided
Friday, 26-Oct-2012
The quarter finalists in the Men's National Cup will be known after this weekend as all eight last 16 contests take place on Sunday.
Outside of our
Game of the Week, there are three other ties that throw up potential cup upsets as lower division teams face off with teams in VCARS.co.uk Division 1 Men.
Last season's cup cinderellas Newham Neptunes have a chance to add to three Division 1 scalps they claimed last season on their way to the semi final as they face off with Hemel Storm.
The other Division 1 teams who face lower division opponents both square off with teams from Division 3 as Cup holders Essex Leopards host Canary Wharf London Lituanica and Cup runners-up Bristol Academy Flyers host Worcester Wovles 2.
There are three all-Division 1 clashes on Sunday with Westminster Warriors hosting Worthing Thunder, Reading Rockets welcoming Leicester Warriors and Tees Valley Mohawks travelling to Leeds Carnegie.
There will be a minimum of one non-Division 1 team in the quarter final line-up as Sunday also sees and all-Division 2 clash at the Amaechi Centre when Manchester Magic host Mansfield Giants.
