The Cup tie with Southampton Sunday has been canceled due to Southampton being unable to field a team. Crusaders have been given the match and face either London Towers (Div. 3) or Brixton Topcats (Div.3) in the next round on November 9.

The Crusaders travel to Plymouth for a Patrons Cup game that will have no bearing on the competition as Crusaders have already won the South Pool and have secured a home semi final in the competition.
