The BetMcLean Cup is back! The path to the Final has started with the draw for the First Round of the 2024/25 competition.
The journey to this year’s showpiece final has already begun for some clubs - with six teams progressing through the preliminary round of the competition last month.
The seeded Round One draw seen the current twelve Premiership clubs and the top four ranked Championship clubs from last season take their place in the seeded pot, with the remaining Championship clubs (x8), Preliminary Round winners (x6) and two Premier Intermediate League clubs that received a BYE in the unseeded pot.
A further draw was determined for each fixture to determine the home club, however, any clubs without floodlights were automatically drawn away from home.
The draw was conducted today (Thursday 12 September) during the NIFL General Assembly at the Mervyn Brown Suite at the National Football Stadium, by Chris Brindley MBE (NIFL Board Chair) and Sophie Glendinning (NIFL Competitions and Operations Lead).
Ties will be played on Tuesday 1 October 2024, with matches played to a finish.
