Competition Rules

The competition is played to Middlesex Cup rules with one exception; players do not have to be league registered, just bona fide club members.

The home team is responsible for arranging the referee. Teams may enter squads of up to 21but must five players capable of playing in the front row.

In the event of a draw, extra time will be played, 10 minutes each way. If the match is still all square, the number of tries will be taken into account, and if still equal then converted tries. If still equal then the away team progresses through the next round.
