Tonight's clash at The Mardyke Arena, which tips off the first round of the cup, will not be deciding the destination of the cup - with the back door ajar for losers - but it could give an indication of who will be in the shake up.

Last weekend's results, which saw Demons put an end to Abrakebabra Tigers' unbeaten SuperLeague run with a 20 point drubbing and Neptune travel to Belfast to beat Star on their home patch, has added a new zest to tonight's clash.
