JPT - the only cup that counts! Are you in?

JPT - The Only Cup that Counts or the Paint Pot. Whatever you can all – I don’t think Man U have won it! So are you interested in a sub competition for the JPT. There are 48 teams from league one and two, 32 play in the first round and 16 get byes. The draw is done regionally and it is official – Coventry is in the South! The first fixtures will be first week in September. Initial discussions among CCCers suggested Margs has Portsmouth, Anna has Coventry and all other teams are drawn out of the hat. Not sure how many of you want to go in, so that makes the rules a little tricky at this stage but suggest 50p a team, minimum 2 teams so you get one from North and one from South. You can have multiple teams and prize money goes to the finalists of North and South with the overall winner getting the most of course.

So please let me know by August 17th if you want to join in, if you want just one team or the maximum number of teams you would like.

Johnstone’s Paint is busily preparing for its eighth year of sponsorship of the Football League Trophy.
