In addition, the Association will be piloting two NEW County Cups for Girls teams. At U13 (Year 8) the Bob Chandler Trophy will be a 9v9 competition for schools NOT competing in the Jan Harding Memorial Trophy. The Capital Girls’ League and Regents’ Park Youth League both play in this format at U13, while the national competitions organised by the English Schools’ FA are 11v11.
At U12 (Year 7), Girls teams will be able to compete for the Chris Ampofo Shield. With more girls than ever playing the beautiful game, but effectively being ‘squeezed out’ by the boys, the Association wishes to return the Kay Cup to its original designation as a Boys competition and offer a tournament which allows female footballers to compete on their own terms. The draws for these new competitions will be published shortly.
