Amazingly only 2 managers have made the last 8 of the N&R Cup that play in the N&R first tier - Neil Reynolds and Frank & Tim. If they can avoid each other in the 4th Round, they must be favourites to progress but then we have seen so many shocks so far.

Ben Graves, Ian Kennett, Danny Rose, Mark Wenman, Danny Matthews plus the lowly serial giantkiller Paul Hargis all play in tier 2. Congratulations guys and keep an eye out on the 4th Round draw.
