Canon Cup to be scrapped

The Canon Cup has been discontinued by Major League Football, and will be replaced by a five-a-side indoor tournament with MLF sides in it.

The East Anglia Knights were the last team to win it after beating London United in late February.

MLF said this was mainly due to a hectic league schedule.

"With our hectic schedule, I'm afraid there is no place anymore for the Canon Cup," said an MLF spokesman.

The CSA International Premier League will now also be held in winter months again due to the tiring schedule.
