The County Cup Weekender is back
We’re delighted to be heading into a weekend of Youth County Cup Finals with five Champions to be decided!
With the competitions beginning in September 2021 and each team playing in a number of rounds to get to this point, the season finale should bring some fantastic spectacles of football across the age groups.
It begins this evening at Workington AFC’s Borough Park with the Under 18 County Cup Final. The County Cup roadshow then heads to Keswick FC for the Under 12 and Under 14 (Mixed and Girls) competition Finals over the weekend.
Cumberland FA would like to give thanks to both Workington AFC and Keswick FC for their support in hosting the upcoming Finals. Without the volunteers in grassroots football, these events would not be possible.
Under 18 County Cup Final
Penrith AFC Juniors U18 v Whitehaven AFC Juniors U18 Yellow

The Under 18 County Cup Final brings together the Champions of their respective Leagues with the ‘double’ on for the winners of this evening’s game!
Penrith AFC U18s have already lifted the Kendal College Sport Westmorland Under 18 League trophy and were runners up in the Westmorland Cup recently. Whitehaven AFC U18 Yellow are the newly crowned West Cumbria Youth League Under 18 Champions.
Neil McCrickard takes charge as Referee and is assisted by Cameron Sealby and Ben Whitfield with Trevor Bethwaite as fourth official.
The Youth County Cup Weekender returns to Keswick FC, for the first time since 2019. Beginning with an ‘all Carlisle’ area Final, the remaining three Finals bring together teams from different Leagues in the quest to become County Champions!

Cumberland FA would like to wish all teams the best of luck for what should be some great games of football! All the talk will be about the two teams playing to win the County Cup, but the games wouldn’t be going ahead without the ‘third’ team, the Officials so we’d like to wish them all the best too!
Thanks to our partnership with Veo Camera, the Final will be recorded with teams able to access the analysis tools following the fixture. Clubs can now 'double' their discount until the end of May with £200 off a Veo Camera for new customers and 50% off for existing customers looking to buy a second or third camera.

There will be no charge for entry for the County Cup Finals but we are asking those in attendance to support the Teenage Cancer Trust and this is why:
Carlisle City Under 17’s player Danny Boy Lynas was diagnosed with Cancer earlier this year and his friends are showing their support by participating in a number of hikes to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust.
Danny has been unable to play football or attend school as he is undergoing treatment. As a #FootballFamily we’re asking for donations on entry to the remaining Cumberland FA County Cups to show our support for Danny in his brave fight. Please drop any loose change into the buckets around the grounds over the weekend so we can pass it onto the charity page set up by Danny’s friends.
This is the last chance to nominate for The Grassroots Football Awards – Nominations close on Monday.
