The winners from the groups of four will progress to the knockout stages, along with the top two teams from the group of five. The runner-up with the best record from the groups of four will also go into the knockout stages, making eight teams in total. In the event of a tie, play-off matches may be necessary.
The eliminated teams from the group stages will then be placed into the Barking & Dagenham Trophy. This should be sixteen schools altogether.
Group games must be played by March 12th. This is already a two week extension from the original deadline. Schools who don’t play in time WILL be eliminated!
The knockout rounds will be drawn once the qualifiers are known, with the finals being played by June 1st at the very latest.
There are obviously issues with light during the winter months. Therefore it is recommended that schools play at least one game before the clocks go back, with the remaining matches being played in the Spring. Alternatively, your Headteacher may be kind enough to let you play an early kick off.
START ARRANGING GAMES NOW.

Some schools don’t have a pitch or only have a small pitch or have a pitch but with small goals. Such pitches are ok as long as both teachers agree in advance of the match. If no pitch is available you might ask a school that has a pitch if you can use their facilities.
