Time for some meat on the bones of our proposed Summer Cup, which has attracted quite a lot of interest from the minimal promotion we’ve done for it so far…

It will be a 32 team tournament, the first stage will be made up of 8 groups of 4.

Each group will play their three group games (15 mins per game) on ONE Wednesday night between 8 & 9pm at St Thomas More College in Denton on their BRAND NEW PITCH!

The first group stages will take place over 4 Wednesday nights, with two groups per night. For example, Group A & B will take place on week one, Groups C & D on week two etc.

The top two teams from each group will qualify for a second round of group games, 4 more groups of 4 over two Wednesday nights, same time, same venue.

The winners of these 4 groups will qualify for finals night, where there will be the semi finals, followed by the final and a 3rd/4th place play off. Games on finals night will be 20 mins long to allow time for penalties if needed!

It will be the fairly standard £6 per player, per game night for all participants.

We will confirm which Wednesdays the games will take place on once the remaining United (Europa final?), City (rearranged Bournemouth home game) and County (play off?) games are all booked in, and once those dates are announced, space permitting, teams can choose which date is best for them if needed.

From the minimal amount of promotion we’ve done for the tournament, we’ve already had interest from 16 teams, so if you are interested in taking part or definitely want to enter a team, let us know. Teams will be offered spaces on a first come, first served basis once dates are confirmed. If you’ve already expressed an interest, you’re already on the list!

Don’t hang around, these spaces will go fast! Get in touch for further information by dropping us a message on 07809252658, email [email protected], or message us through our social media pages
