Europa Cup Final Round (October Fixtures)

With 3 days to go until October, I think we're ready to start the final round. There are a couple of matches left to resolve (Sussex vs Lille and Presovsky vs Trentino-Sudtirol) but neither should affect the top 2 of each group.

Qualified from Group A:

🇬🇧 Yorkshire Terriers

🇬🇧 Somerset Wyvern

Qualified from Group B:

🇮🇹 Emilia-Romagna

🇬🇧 Sussex

Toscana narrowly missed out in Group A, while UK & Ireland champions Leinster were 3rd in Group B only on their head-to-head record with Sussex. The full standings are here. Thanks to all the teams who took part in the first round, and I hope to see you in a future event.

So we will have three English teams vying to beat the current European champions. The schedule is:
