Football South Coast representatives conducted the draw on Wednesday, April 3 and revealed the next journey for the respective teams taking part.
The Bert Bampton Cup acts as the sole knockout competition in the region and is separate from the IPL and District League round-robin competitions. Essentially, the Cup is sudden death football with no second chances.
Successful District League clubs Warilla, Fernhill, Unanderra, and Berkeley were drawn against 12 Illawarra Premier League clubs that have only just entered the competition at the round of 16 stage.
Headlining the draw is Cringila taking on Coniston in what will be a replay of the 2023 IPL decider, which Coniston won 1-0.
