The draw for this season’s KDM Evolution Trophy – the traditional Challenge Cup – was made earlier, and Cove Rangers were the first team out of the hat.

The revamped format mirrors the set-up introduced for the European tournaments last season, with the first stage a league consisting of thirty teams from Leagues One and Two, and ten Premiership B sides.

Each plays six matches with the top twenty-two moving on to the knockout phase, joining those from the Championship.

The draw was regionalised with Cove Rangers in Pot A, and our opponents came from Pots B and C.

The outcome was five home games – all the B teams’ matches are away from home – and just one trip, up to Borough Briggs in September.

Further details will be announced in due course, but for now our fixture list looks like this…
