First competitive action after the festive period saw the 1st Team take on Swansea University in Round 1 of the Welsh Cup.  An understrength Unversity side were always going to struggle against a virtually full strength Whitchurch outfit.

The University who currently play against Whitchurch B in the N4 League conceded early on and could not get any rhythym to their game, with next to no meaningful possession.  A further volley of quick goals resulted early in the first half, with some good build up play from the home side.

Firebrands 1-3 Whitchurch 

The first game of the second half of the EHL season saw the boys travelling across the bridge to Bristol.  A good performance here and three points would give Whitchurch a rare double over their West Country opponents this season.
