Challenging groups await Upminster's sides

The draws have been made for the County Cup competitions at U12s, U14s, U16s and U19s, and Upminster's sides have been handed some challenging groups........and a few miles on the County's roads!!!

In the Brian Taylor Trophy, Upminster have been joined in Group 1 by Billericay, Great Baddow, Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden.  Ian Munn's side will begin the competition by hosting Baddow in late May, before travelling to Saffron Walden, hosting Billericay and then making the journey to Stortford to complete their group campaign on 25th June.

Our U14s have been placed in Group 3 of the Sir Alastair Cook Trophy.  They will face local derbies away to Brentwood and Harold Wood before welcoming Colchester and East Essex to RM14.

The U16s face a tough draw as they bid to become the first side at the club to reach the final of the Trevor Bailey Matchplay Shield since 2007.  Upminster reached the semi- finals in 2019 but Dave Siggins' face long trips to Bishops Stortford and Harlow in their first two games, before hosting Chelmsford and local rivals Brentwood to finish the group.

Remarkably Upminster will also face Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden in the U19s Ravi Bopara Trophy.  Their group also includes Billericay, Harold Wood and Brentwood.
