This week saw the start of preparations for the Sussex County F.A. 2012-2013 Senior Cup competition with draws taking place for the first two rounds.

It heralds the start of a three year sponsorship deal that will rename the trophy as The Parafix Sussex Senior Challenge Cup.  Colin Wills, a director at Parafix, carried out the draw along with Ken Benham, Chief Executive of the Sussex F.A. and said “We are very proud to be associated with such a long standing and respected football competition within Sussex.  Many of our own staff and those from our customers and suppliers will have the opportunity to play in it or support their local teams.  I look forward to watching as many of the matches as I can, throughout the season.”

For the first time, the draw was reported live on Twitter as the balls were pulled out of the bag.  There were many positive comments from the clubs and supporters who were waiting to hear the fate of their teams.
