The Berks & Bucks County FA Cup competitions return for the 2021/22 season after a year out due to Covid-19, and the top tier competition – the Senior Cup – has a new structure encompassing steps 1-6 of the English Football Pyramid.
Teams from steps 5 to 6 will take part in two Qualifying Rounds before teams at steps 1 to 4 (including Berkshire clubs Maidenhead United, Hungerford Town, Slough Town, Binfield, Bracknell Town, Thatcham Town) come into contention. The professional sides across Berkshire and Buckinghamshire will then enter at the Quarter Final stage (both Reading FC and MK Dons had been confirmed as entering at the time of the press release in June).
The first qualifying round will reunite a number of former Hellenic League sides as Flackwell Heath play Wokingham & Emmbrook and Long Crendon welcome AFC Aldermaston to Marsh Lane.
