The Football Association has confirmed the schedule for its knockout competitions in the 2024/25 season.
The Bucks will compete in the Emirates FA Cup and the Isuzu FA Trophy.
Along with other Step 3 clubs, we will enter the FA Cup at the 1st qualifying round stage and the FA Trophy at the 3rd qualifying round stage.
We will have no scheduled Southern League Premier Central fixture on either 31st August 2024 or 5th October 2024 for this reason.
We await confirmation from the Southern League of the fixture publication date for the forthcoming season.
The expectation is this will be at a similar time to last season, approximately 3½ weeks before the season commences on 10th August.
