United twice reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and next to it in the 1992/93 season in the League Cup the round of eight teams. The club has close links with the football team at the Cambridge Regional College, which was founded in 2006 and has since then served as a reserve team - the rules of the Football Association FA prohibit the participation of an official " second team " within the league system, so that the cooperation as a trick may be perceived to circumvent this rule.
