Cup Draws for 2010

Dear Member

Please find the cup draws for this years various cup competitions on the website and may I also take this opportunity to remind members that Umbro match balls must be used in all CUFL and CFAI cup competitions. Failure to do so will result in sanction against the home team. There will be an open draw after round two of all cup games.

Joe O’Brien DIT will be responsible for all CFAI Cup competitions for 09/10. All first rounds are to be played on or before 19th November. All results are to be sent to Joe immediately after the game by e-mail or text at:joe.obrien@dit.ie0861953854

The majority of the rules are the same as the league, however here are a few questions and answers of common queries. Please note the change in number 5 as opposed to previous years due to members representations to the executive of budgetary cuts and the neccessity to reduce costs.

1.Whose responsibility is it to report the result? It is the responsibility of the home team to email or text( to the address above) the result within 24hours of the match ending.
2 Where do we sent the match card? Completed match cards and any referees report are to be sent to Joe O’Brien at DIT, Faculty of Tourism and Food,Cathal Brugha Street, Dublin 1

5. Do we need 3 officals? No, as opposed to previous years only 1 official will be required for the first 2 rounds of Umbro Cup games.
6. What match card do we use? You can use the online match card for the Umbro Colleges & Universities league ( Just note its a cup game on the front page)
7. Do we have to use Umbro Balls? YES, it is a requirement that all teams use Umbro match balls for all league & cup competitions. Failure to do so will result in sanction against the home team.
