We will get our first taste of fully competitive football in this trophy run, which starts on 28th February.
The rules are quite complicated, so I hope to get the message across as simply as possible!!

Firstly, we have had to nominate 2 teams. I've nominated 2 teams each of 8 players. These are based on the BULLS and TIGERS teams that we have been playing for several weeks. Unfortunately, once these teams have been nominated, we are not able to move players between them! The teams are:

TIGERS (TEAM A)

Finlay
Will H
Jack L
Joe P
Shaylen
Bill C.
Duncan
Tom T

BULLS (TEAM B)

Toby
James C
Josh
Alex
Fergus
Jack A
Will N
Ross

The way that it works is that we play in a mini-league which is split into RED and GREEN competitions. This means that our two teams never play each other and there are two finals.

Our league consists of the following teams. The top two teams in each side of the draw go through. The first column indicates which teams are in the RED side of the draw and the second column the GREEN side of the draw. (I hope that you're paying attention to this as there's an exam at the end!)

RUDHEATH                  A     B
NORTHWICH VILLA       B     A
SANDBACH UNITED     A      B
DAVENHAM                 A      B
HOLMES CHAPEL         B       A
GRAPPENHALL             A      B

After 5 weekends of games we will have played each of the other teams and the teams qualifying for the quarter finals will be identified. The quarters will be played on 18th April and the semis on 25th April.

The final will be on 2nd May at Middlewich Football Ground.
