Under 16 French Cup for Girls

Note – schools scheduled to play a “Late Entry” should check the KSFA website for any updates. The deadline for late entries is Saturday 13th September

If the result of a game has not been submitted by midday on the Monday following the deadline date, and no information relating to a legitimate delay in playing it has been received, the game will be determined by the KSFA by the toss of a coin.

The home school is responsible for appointing a neutral, qualified referee who is registered with a County FA for both the Quarter and Semi Finals.
