Strange that Karen hasn't put up the Quarter Final draw as yet that was made recently, thankfully the remaining SSML Club's have been kept apart so we could have three semi finalists:

Wokingham & Emmbrook v Buckingham Athletic

Penns & Tylers Green v Mortimer

Old Bradwell United v Wantage Town Development

Sandhurst Town v Milton Keynes Robins

A bit after the Lord Mayor's Show but a real anorak was at this Second Round tie on Saturday 19 October and gives an interesting and amusing account of his day:

Four eagerly awaited Quarter Final ties tomorrow afternoon, I gather all kicking off at 14.00 but Karen will no doubt confirm:

 

[Rhodes]

Yes, Sandhurst Town v Milton Keynes Robins is certainly a 14.00 start, good luck to Milton Keynes Robins who will need to bounce back following their mauling at Shefford Town & Campton on Tuesday evening:

It sounds like Old Bradwell United supremo David Keene wasn't best pleased with the 'lacklustre' performance on Saturday to say the least:

A final update on the competition and Semi Final draw, it's really disappointing that our three Quarter Finalists were all unceremoniously knocked out:

The Final of this years competition would have seen Sandhurst Town lock horns with Wantage Town Development however last season's Final was between Marlow United and Old Bradwell United which the SSML Division Two Club won 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw at Abingdon United FC, here are over a hundred photographs from that Final:

And YouTube action from last year's Final, jubilant scenes at the end of the nail biting penalty shoot out from the large number of Old Bradwell United fans who had made the trip to Abingdon United:

A sad statement from the Berks & Bucks FA regarding their County Cup competitions this season:

Statement regarding County Cup Competitions 2019/20

On Wednesday 15th April an online meeting was held by the Board of Directors of Berks & Bucks FA to discuss the outstanding County Cup Competitions for the 2019-20 season.

Our County Cups are at various stages; with some competitions already having finalists decided and others still at the quarter final stage. With no timescale for a return to normality and football being able to resume safely again, we were faced with many challenging decisions.

With this in mind, after considerable discussion, The Board voted to cancel all outstanding County Cup Competitions for the 2019-20 season and to expunge the results.

We appreciate that teams, players, club officials and spectators have put in tremendous work and supported their teams to progress in the competitions and know that this decision will be disappointing for those closely involved in the latter stages. However, the health and welfare of our participants was at the heart of this difficult decision.

All teams who were still involved in Berks & Bucks FA County Cup competitions at the time of cancellation will receive free entry into next season's Cup.

The Berks & Bucks FA have issued an update stating that in the event of their County Cup Competition programme for 2020/21 not commencing by 1 November, then the competitions for next season will not start:
