Next fixture for the U 21’s after Tuesday’s Berks &Bucks Senior Cup QF away to Maidenhead Utd KO 7.45pm, where i expect a composite U 18/U21 team to be picked.
U 21’s v Birmingham City on Saturday 13th December in a PL Cup Group A match at Bearwood KO 1pm( tickets available by phone to the RFC ticket office).

The Birmingham game is down for the stadium rather than Bearwood. As one of the few (so far) who have bought a ticket, I'd expect to hear from the club if it has moved.
