Reigning champions Reading to face Tulse Hill and Dulwich in second round

REIGNING champions Reading will face Tulse Hill and Dulwich in the second round of the Men's Cup.

Tulse Hill and Dulwich overhauled Banbury on penalty strokes in the first round after the two teams were deadlocked at 1-1 in normal time.

And they have been rewarded with a trip to seven-time winners Reading at the next stage, where the England Hockey League teams enter proceedings.

The draw sees just two fixtures where league teams meet each other - with Belper facing Sheffield Hallam Civica, while Old Loughtonians travel to Canterbury.

Beeston - finallists in the last two years - start their cup campaign with a home tie against West Bridgford Monarchs.

Only four other Premier League teams have entered the competition.

Bowdon and Brooklands MU meet South Nottingham and Preston respectively.

While Hampstead & Westminster and Cannock travel to Firebrands and Neston South Wirral.
