I have had confirmation from the Berks and Bucks FA that this season at the request of the leagues, each round will have one date when all the matches will be played( 1st round Tuesday 10th September) The only exception to this is if 2 teams groundshare and are both drawn at home.

Tonight’s final match in round 1 was
Langley 1 Berks County 11
Langley’s manager quit a few days ago and the rest of his management team left as well. Not sure if any players have gone as well.

...according to NLM, Chairman has been posting on TwiX apologizing for result and citing 10 players had left before last night's tie!
Might have presented a challenge getting a side out then?

Sad really as only two seasons back witnessed them absolutely destroy Berks Co in the CCL1 PO semi-final.
They'd looked at least a couple of STEPS better than the level they were at, on that evening anyway.
- never really recovered from losing the subsequent PO Final to 'money-bags' Rayners La ....... then backed out of a League Cup S-F @ Penn & TG citing lack of players! :?

There seems to be some Oxfordshire teams in the draw, don't they have their own Cup ?

Yes they do but far less teams - only 18 in the Senior cup( as against 41 in B & B )and less of a standard, with only 10 step 6 and above. ( against 41) I think teams now in Oxfordshire compete in ours because of the old County boundaries.

They aren’t Oxfordshire teams. They are from the historic county of Berkshire and have probably played in the B&B for decades.
The B&B FA are based in Abingdon…..there remit covers not only B&B but also South Oxfordshire and the Vale of the White Horse.
Bit like the England cricket team is called England but includes some colonial outposts as well.

A nice reminder at how old school and reluctant to change the FA are.

Why would they change their name or organisational structure? Afterall the counties will probably change again within the century.

They prefer to be called "Wales"

Don't believe some of the sides wanted to change from the B&B. County boundaries to some in the 70s were like country boundaries, didn't see why they should be moved just because some idiot pen pusher in Westminster has decided that Oxfordshire should suddenly take on some of the prettier and historical bits of Berkshire or that parts of Gloucestershire and Somerset would be better off merged with Bristol in some stupid conglomeration called Avon etc.

Yeh many would agree but all I'd say is it's not on the FA to fight that particular battle
