Re: Aviva 'A' team cup
I'd be interested. Am I right in assuming that any player who plays in these games can't play in the league games and that this won't count as player fatigue.

Re: Aviva 'A' team cup
Sounds good to me - is it worth doing the games on say a Monday? That way not overload with tactics and games on a Thursday?
