Berks & Bucks Senior Cup 1989/1990

Most of this information comes from the Non-League Directory 1991.

For this season, the format of the competition changed quite significantly. Eight clubs received byes to the first round proper, whilst the remaining entrants played in qualifying rounds.

Qualifying Round 1:

Beaconsfield United 0 Abingdon United 4
Bracknell Town 1 Flackwell Heath 2
Burnham 3 Kintbury Rangers 0
Hungerford Town 1 Thatcham Town 3 (after extra time)
Wallingford Town 1 Chesham United 3
Wantage Town 3 Winslow United 0

Qualifying Round 2:

Abingdon United 2 New Bradwell St Peter 0
Amersham Town 1 Newport Pagnell Town 2
Chalfont St Peter 1 Buckingham Town 2 (after extra time)
Didcot Town 0 Newbury Town 1
Maidenhead United 0 Chesham United 1
Milton Keynes Wolverton Town 3 Milton Keynes Borough 4
Thatcham Town 2 Burnham 0
Wantage Town 0 Flackwell Heath 1

Round 1:

Abingdon Town, Aylesbury United, Marlow, Reading, Slough Town, Windsor & Eton, Wokingham Town and Wycombe Wanderers had byes to this round. I think that Windsor & Eton and Abingdon Town gained their exemptions through being the finalists in 1988/89, whilst the other six teams received byes due to their position in the football pyramid.
