Note – schools scheduled to play a “Late Entry” should check the KSFA website for any updates. The deadline for late entries is Saturday 12th 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.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
- Players must be over 11 and under 13 as at midnight 31st August/1st September 2026 (i.e. in Years 7 and 8 in the 2026-2027 academic year).

Schools that breach this requirement will be removed from all applicable competitions.
- Matches are 30 minutes each way. Extra time of 10 minutes each way must be played in all games that are level at the end of normal time. If scores remain level, the tie must be decided by penalties.
