Cranleigh FC Firsts were recently removed from the Premier Challenge Cup competition following the fielding of an ineligible player in the Semi-Final, despite having sought clarification from the relevant authorities beforehand. While we are naturally disappointed by the decision, we are particularly concerned by the lack of communication, transparency, and the absence of any opportunity to appeal the ruling.
Nonetheless, we remain immensely proud of what has been achieved this season and are fully focused on our preparations for 2025-2026. This moment will not define us.
Cranleigh FC continues to be driven by a dedicated group of young players, whose talent and ambition promise a bright future. The Club remains committed to supporting their development and to nurturing the next generation of footballers coming through our ranks.
We would also like to extend our best wishes to both AFC Royal Holloway and Keens Park Rangers ahead of what promises to be a competitive and entertaining cup final.
