Yorkshire Cup 2021
Ay up, it's time for the Cup. York are reigning champions (I'm going to mention this as much as possible while I still can) but Bradford, Leeds, and Sheffield have the opportunity to change this over the next few months.
The rules are here. Can the team admins please set up the January fixtures, to start in the first week of the month, please? Match settings are at the bottom of this post.
January
York vs Sheffield
Bradford vs Leeds
February
Sheffield vs Bradford
Leeds vs York
March

Good luck all, especially York (did I mention we're currently champions?).
