Midlands v Dons Sunday 28th January 2024 2pm 1895 Cup : Mon Jan 22, 2024 9:58 pm  

A good game to play at this point in the season. Then we've got Sheffield at home the weekend after.

The top team from each of seven groups of three qualifies for the quarter finals alongside the best performing second placed team.

The quarter finals will be played on 3rd March.

The semi-finals are on 12th May.

The final is at Wembley on 8th June.

I've not seen any official confirmation on how the best second-placed team will be decided but I presume most second-placed teams will have won one game and lost one game. I would expect the team with the best points difference from the seven groups will be the one that qualifies.

Hope you don't mind DM, I edited your post title to correct the kick off time.

Cheers, Jemmo. I must have been in one of those 'wrong places' when I saw the kick-off time. Thanks for correcting!

Just checked... I got it from the BBC website and they're showing 3pm. I'll let them know and see if we can get it changed to 2pm.

The problem seems to be, the RFL seemed to have it as 3 and places get the fixtures from their feed (our official website included)

The Dons site now says 2pm. I got in touch with the BBC last night but at 15.50 today, they're still showing 3pm.

No Tyla Hepi in the squad again. Wonder if there's a problem.

Burns, Hall, Hepi and Misi are the players missing out, plus the 2 trialists

Disappointing tbh.

You'd think they'd at least give the trialists a go in what is effectively a glorified friendly. Also surprised to see so little change from last week. Would have liked to have seen more of the squad that didn't get a go last week have a run out if not injured. If they are injured where is the communication from the club ie timeframes till return etc. In this new IMG era I thought 'Fan Engagement' was supposed to be important. How are we expected to do well in that category if we do not communicate with the fans?
