Teams have been drawn for the group stages of this season’s Cannestan Combi Cup, the oldest and most prestigious tournament contest in Kenna history.
With 19 entrants, this season’s group stage sees group D teams only having to play three matches. In all the other groups teams will play four.
The top two teams from each group will progress to a two-leg, knock-out stage, to be drawn at the Feburary window.
League points difference over the group fixtures will decide who progresses in the event of being level on cup points in the group.
Simple.
Cup dates will be announced soon.

Over the next three months teams will be will be pitched against each other in pre-selected weeks.
Whoever picks up the most points in that week will earn three cup points. Teams scoring an equal amount will get one a piece.
There are no points for a loss.
Teams equal on cup points at the end of the group stages will be decided on league points difference.
More Kenna records were left as smashed as the managers last night as the transfer window attracted 14 bidders.
In a pressure-cooker atmosphere behind some thick curtains in the upstairs of a Piccadilly pub, 13 managers packed in for business.
The Thieving Magpies manager offered some applied phone bidding. Kevin Doyle and Gabriel Obertan were his reward.
Colonel Gaddafi and Vincent Tabak sadly couldn’t make it.
League leaders FC Testiculadew (pronounced ‘Test-ick-you-lah-joo’, didn’t you know?) picked up in form attacker Juan Mata for £31m, much to the concern of those present.
Emmanuel Adebayor attracted the biggest price tag as the Pikey Scum boss recovered from his night inside to stump up £43m.
“An excellent evening and well attended,” said the Chairman. “Managers should remember that their new players will only start to score points from next weekend.
“Those not present who needed players can be assured there was an open and transparent process to fill the gaps in their teams.”
Full details, and the results of the Cannestan Combi Cup draw, will be published soon.
The Pikey Scum manager’s transfer window preparations were left in tatters last night after he was arrested.
Police collared the Scum boss on the grounds that the stolen iPhone incident he was apparently the victim of on Tuesday was allegedly an elaborate insurance fraud.
Details have emerged that the chief suspect in the case was known to the Scum manager beforehand and was actually his defender Patrice Evra.
“I’m telling you, the guy was a honky!” pleaded the Scum gaffer as stoney-faced policemen placed him in handcuffs at the club’s home stadium Trailer Park.
Evra was brought in for questioning, but he just shrugged a lot while chainsmoking Gauloises. Both men were bailed in the early hours.
Police initially followed up leads that a third man was involved and arrested the Spartak Mogadishu manager.
He was later released due to lack of evidence.
“This be gettin’ ridiculous,” said the Spartak manager this morning outside the club’s Spyglass Hill training facility. “If ye tryin’ to throw me in the brig, ye should try doin’ it for summint I actually done, like those French tourists I got locked in me….um….shivver me timbers, be that the time? I must be away to get shipshape for ye transfer porthole.”
