The draw has been confirmed for the early rounds of the 2026 MAXiCab KO Cup.
Defending champions Poole begin their title defence in the Preliminary Round, where they face Scunthorpe in a repeat of the dramatic 2023 Final – a contest the Scorpions won in memorable fashion.
The winners of that tie will progress to a quarter-final clash with Oxford, while last season’s beaten finalists Redcar enter the competition at the last-eight stage against Edinburgh.
Elsewhere in the quarter-finals, Berwick host Workington, with Bandits skipper Jye Etheridge and Comets new recruit Jonas Jeppesen both facing their former clubs. Plymouth and Glasgow complete the line-up in a long-distance quarter-final encounter.
All ties will be contested over two legs.
