Bristol City, Bristol Thunder and Exeter City have taken on the challenge of the first round of the EKA Cup. This involves all clubs wanting to enter across the whole of the UK.

The first round will be played on the 21 October 2012, and the clubs have been drawn in the following groups.

Bristol City will be playing at home in 30 minute games against Leeds City, Norwich Ice and Croydon 2

Bristol Thunder will be playing away again in 30 minute games against Supernova, Leicester Tornado’s and Ely Vikings

Exeter City will make the trek to Milton Keynes to play 40 minute games against MK Bucks and Cambridge Pheonixs

Good Luck to all three teams and hopefully we will get a South West Club in the second round two years in a row after Bristol City’s success last season
