Cup Competitions
As well as league competitions, AFC clubs take part in cup competitions. Most clubs enter the [Amateur Football Alliance|AFA] County Cups, but depending on their location clubs also enter Surrey FA, London FA and Middlesex FA Cups. Almost all clubs also enter the London Old Boys Cups. In the event of a dry winter, if the league programme finishes early in the spring, the AFC will run its own "Spring Cups".
