The draw has been made for the 2009-10 Armagh Zone Cup (formerly the HSBC Cup). Last year's winners St. Anthony's have been handed a tricky tie against St. Matthew's, but the tie of the round is undoubtedly St. Mark's against last years runners up St. Saviours.
There has been a rule change this year. A team must play a minimum of 6 ladies (previously 8) with at least 1 lady in each rink.

St. Mark's -v- St. Saviour's

Tullysaran -v- Portadown GC
St. Pat's Blue -v- Markethill
