Shaw Lane were missed out of the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup first round draw

Last season’s Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup ended in farcical circumstances. Now the new competition has got off to a ridiculous start as the first round has had to be redrawn.

The County FA placed several teams, including Shaw Lane, in the wrong draw, meaning it has had to be done again.

The latest PR disaster is the last thing the County FA needed after the Senior Cup final debacle last season. During the previous season, the FA kicked Athersley out for fielding an ineligible player, before reinstating them.

Here is the full first round draw:

Worksop Town v Sheffield FC

Shelley v Swallownest

Frecheville v Worsbrough Bridge

Penistone Church v Phoenix

AFC Emley v Hallam

AFC Bentley v Jubilee Sports

Athersley Rec v Wombwell

Maltby Main v Denaby United

Shaw Lane v Millmoor Juniors

Hemsworth Miners Welfare v Parkgate

Staveley MW v Swinton

North Gawber v Stocksbridge

Handsworth v Houghton Main

Dinnington v Rossington

Frickley Athletic v Denaby Main

Nostell MW v Harworth
