Information was received by the Berks and Bucks FA about the incident.

One team asked if they could be excused the four games criteria if they reach the finals of a Cup game, as one player is injured and not likely to be fit until the finals. This was denied.
Teams are strongly reminded that they should not put derogatory comments about other teams, players, etc. on social media. This is not acceptable.
