Defending challenge cup holders Bob Carter will have to see who they face as they have been drawn away to either Hempnall or Harling in the first round. It could see a potential re run of last season's final as home advantage could be crucial with all ties now being played over one leg.
The draw took place at the NCSMBA management committee meeting held at Thorpe Marriott on 30/08/2017.
