Further to the 2024 KO Draw listed by Chris it was agreed at the Delegates meeting on Aug 1st that a Plate competition was impractical this year given the amount of matches we need to compress into a single evening.

At the delegate meeting held at the Delph on 1st August the draw for this season's Knockout competition was made. Assuming that all teams compete, the draw is as follows.

Due to time constraints the matches will start at 8pm sharp, and timings for answering will be set at 20s for your own question, 10s after a pass to a teammante, then 10s when passed over to the opposition.

Handicaps will be calculated based on the final league table.

A	Millstone v Masons	Winner of Heat A v Winner of Heat B	Winner SF1 v Winner Sf2
B	Cricketers v Star Inn
C	Delphic Horses v Bryn Labour Club	Winner of Heat C v Merrymen
D	Merrymen - bye
