2026/27 Cup Competitions
Could Hampton & RB "Youth" field one of their older teams if they have an u16s or u17s.Josh2002 wrote: Sat Jun 27, 2026 11:50 am The FA Youth Cup tends to have loads of sides pull out despite entering, so would not surprise me if we’re one of them.
Would be good to field a side to keep the integrity of the competition.

This year the Youth section has one team going into the U18 age group for next season, so it would make sense for them to fill it. Yet to see if that is the course of action however!

Our U18s (whoever they are) have been drawn away to Bedfont Sports Club in the 1QR of the FA Youth Cup. Scheduled to be W/C 14th September. Will see if we withdraw from that.

As its a nice local draw this might make it easier for the club to field a squad of U17s or similar.

Just a word on last night's Youth Cup tie.
It finished Bedfont Sports 4-1 HRBFC, but was marred by what can only be described as a really poor evening for our proud football club.
We were represented by a Kinetic Academy side, for anyone that doesn't know them they're a massive organisation originally from South London with lots of clubs and schools they have links to, and was all created by Seth MacFarlane who interim managed Chelsea recently alongside Simmo. Kinetic have a bit of a reputation for being a bit violent and rowdy too unfortunately, as well as sometimes naming teamsheets as fictional as Harry Potter, and sides that play against them are often in for unpleasant evenings, this side was no exception.
We began the game on the front foot, looking the better side before going 2-0 down before the break. At half time we made some changes, got 1 goal back before Bedfont scored 2 very good counter-attacking goals and thoroughly deserved their win. During the game we had 6 Yellow Cards, including one off the ball incident, and BSFC had 5, in what was a high-tempered game from both sides.
A few minutes before the end, a BSFC player riled up one of our substitutes by pulling his shorts down with the referee not looking. This led to our lad having an altercation with him at another set piece incident. Both benches were frantic, one of our coaches got booked in the process. But nothing would predict what was to happen at the end of the game.
Our bunch of Footballers decided they were not going to lose graciously, and a lot of the created a full-on melee swinging punches at opposition players, Bedfont Sports joining in too, with what became around a 30 person brawl with coaches flying in to stop the brawl, our players removing their shirts as to avoid number detection from the referee. It was disgusting to watch. The players had to be separated from going into the changing room whilst the referee dished out the punishment, 5 red cards to our team, 3 to Bedfont, and also has (quite rightly) pinned the blame on us for starting the disorder. Our players seemingly not quite had enough had to be stopped from sprinting in to the crowd to start another fight.
Having done some more digging, this is a team based in Whyteleafe, why the hell they're a HRBFC side is beyond me, and we have given this side the right to use our name in an U19 League despite remaining as Kinetic and playing at Church Road, Whyteleafe. I sincerely hope this is not who we think that building our new academy next season is going to be based around, because it was appalling.
We are due to play Ickenham Youth in the County Cup in a fortnight, but I'm not sure I want to see those utter disgraces who thought they could do as they please, and incur what will be a heavy fine from the FA for they're horrific display of violence last night. Anyone involved in bringing that team over here should take a good long look in the mirror, as last night we were let down. Let down very badly indeed. I do believe there were other things involved, but don't have a place on a public forum until the referee finishes his report, and any other disciplinary action is taken appropriately.
Quite simply, that team has to go. Shameful, Embarrassing, Disgraceful, Abhorrent.
Good Luck Bedfont Sports in the next round, who by the way weren't absolvent of some blame, but didn't disgrace themselves in the manner we did.

I assume you mean Callum MacFarlane, as apposed to Seth, the creator of Family Guy!HamptonLifer5 wrote: Tue Sep 15, 2026 9:50 am We were represented by a Kinetic Academy side, for anyone that doesn't know them they're a massive organisation originally from South London with lots of clubs and schools they have links to, and was all created by Seth MacFarlane who interim managed Chelsea recently alongside Simmo.

I knew I'd heard that name somewhere else recently! Yeah Callum would be the one!
