Cup Games

Alex Combrink

Hello there. We are playing a league cup game soon. We play u14 and we can only get field 7 players. The FA says we have to play the opposition, who will be fielding a full strength team. We are not allowed to postpone the game or forfeit the cup and not allowed in the plate games. The law is that matches can still go ahead in if either team has 7 players, but not if there is less than 7. What’s peoples opinions.

  • I’d just forfeit the game. You probably won’t learn much 7 v 11 and it probably has little benefits unless the opposition is much weaker. I’d rather cancel and play a game whereby the players will enjoy 

    You don’t have to play, regardless of ‘Law’ as you cold just say you have 1 player available to forfeit
