The format for the cup competition was the same as the Football Fun Days, Small Sided Games – 4v4 for under 8s, 5v5 for under 9s; and 7v7 for under 10s, with competitions being run for mixed teams (boys and girls).

• 4v4 games will be played between teams of 4 players + a maximum of 2 subs (6 players in total)
• 5v5 games will be played between teams of 5 players + a maximum of 3 subs (8 players in total)
• 7v7 games will be played between teams of 7 players + a maximum of 3 subs (10 players in total)

Success in the Cup Competition was determined by a number of factors, not solely on winning. In what is a shift away from the traditional over emphasis on ‘winning’,  other elements being taken into account. These elements are focused on participation, inclusion, and having the correct ‘ethos’ – both on and off the field. Extra points will be awarded for
