Yes, there will be an official photographer present at the game. Photos will be made available after the match for players, club officials and supporters to download. 

The Association will provide the actual match balls, but the club will be responsible for providing its own training footballs, which should be gathered up and placed in a bag just prior to kick off to ensure that they are not used during the game.

Prior to the match, the teams will line up in preparation for the Respect Handshake, but before that, the Guest of Honour and other MFA officials will be introduced to the teams from the left-hand side.

Teams are very welcome to have team mascots, but if the mascot is a child, a responsible adult must accompany the mascots on arrival at the ground, supervise them throughout and also take a position at the side of the pitch in order the escort them off the pitch once the handshakes are complete. Passes will not be given to mascots. They will be required to pay the child’s admission fee but they will, of course, each be given a souvenir programme.

If you wish to have Team Mascot, please contact countycups@middlesexfa.com.

1. Match officials
2. Runners up
3. Winners

Middlesex FA provides 16 medals for each team and therefore it is important that the players who played in the final go up to receive their medals first. Any players who are dismissed from the field of play will not be permitted to collect their medal on the pitch as part of the Official Presentation Ceremony. Depending on the nature of the dismissal, an MFA official may come to the dressing room after the game to give the player his medal, but the Association reserves the right to withhold the medal if the offence is serious.

After the medals are presented to both teams and the officials, the trophy will then be handed over to the winning team. A ‘winners’ banner will be erected on the pitch and our official photographer will take pictures of the winning team behind the banner.
