Because of ground availability, it will be necessary to start the Saturday Cup a little earlier than previously planned. The preliminary round will consist of 4 social sides and the bottom 6 sides of the Saturday League after last Saturday's games.

The draw for the preliminary and first round of the Saturday Cup will be made at the LCMC meeting  at the KCC on Wednesday 9th March. The preliminary round games of the Cup will be played whenever possible, and will be completed no later than 28th March. Dates and venues will be advised after the draw has been made.

Winners of the  preliminary round games and the remaining 11 Saturday League teams will enter the 1st round of the Cup, these games will be played on either 3rd or 5th April. Q/F's of the Cup and Plate will be played on 9th and 16th April, Semi Finals of the Cup and Plate on 23rd April and both finals on 30th April. Teams will be advised should these dates need to be changed.

Please see below the eligibility conditions for players entering the Saturday Cup.

Saturday Cup Rules

Entrants & Eligibility

1. a) The Saturday Cup Competition is open to all Saturday League teams. In addition, the LCMC may invite non-league sides to enter and may amend the Cup format at its discretion.

b) The format of the Saturday Cup and Plate Competitions shall be decided by the LCMC.

c) Teams must submit their player squad to the HKCA before the first round draw is made. No transfers or additions will be allowed without the prior approval of the MDC.

d) All players must have played at least one Saturday League match for the team they represent in the Cup during the current season. This rule may be waived for non-league sides. However, the MDC shall be the sole judge of the eligibility and/or appropriateness of any players entering the competition under the ‘non-league’ category.

e) Any team failing to submit its Cup squad before the published deadline will be required to ensure that all its players have played at least TWO SaturdayLeague games for the same team during the season before they are eligible to play in the Cup and have their inclusion pre-approved by the MDC.

Because of the short time before the draw, it will be assumed that a team's squad consists of those players that have represented the team at least twice this season. Should teams wish to make any changes then they must inform the HKCA office by 17:00hrs on Wednesday 9th March.
