The initial draw for the 2011 Federation Cup (mens and womens) has been completed.
Depending on who you follow, it looks good or not so good. All Premier League Clubs are participating, with Capital Football extending invitations to a small number of Clubs to join the competition.
Thre are plenty of pre-season games going on around the PL clubs, with many of them travellling to NSW to play. The Federation Cup will see some of them play each other and give an opportunity for the Football "brains trust" in every Club to observe their opposition in 2011.
Federation Cup form is not not an absolutel indicator of form, but it sure helps.
The competition groups for the Federation CUp are as follows, with a detailed playing schedule to follow soon:
