Following just 66 days since The New Saints were crowned the JD Welsh Cup Champions, the 2022/23 JD Welsh Cup was launched today (06 July), as the draw for Qualifying Round 1 was made at the FAW HQ in Hensol.
The competition has achieved another record-breaking year with the 253 entries surpassing last season’s previous record entries, with an increase of 10.
The National Cup Board have made some notable Rule changes for the new season with the introduction of the use of up to five substitutes, within three substitute periods for all rounds.
Additionally, and following the success of the Round 2 seedings last year, this procedure has been maintained, but all of the 28 seeded clubs from the JD Cymru Premier (12), JD Cymru North (8) and JD Cymru South (8) will be drawn away from home in Round 2.
There were 194 clubs in today’s draw with fifteen Tier 3 clubs receiving byes into Qualifying Round 2, based on their League positions at the end of last season. Matches in Qualifying Round 1 will be played over the weekend of Saturday 30th July 2022 with the QR2 draw taking place on Monday 1st August.
