ATTENTION B GRADE!!!!!

Draws have changed. Due to a late entry draws have had to change, this created a double up in a few team's so I have completely re done the draw.. You may still play a team you have already played but ensuring this didn't happen in a 19 team competition is impossible. The draw WILL NOT BE CHANGED AGAIN. Basketball Connect is correct moving forward. Please see Draw below
