Ties to be played on 19th February:
Lakeside Athletic (Plymouth & West Devon) v Comets Sports Club (Berkhamsted)
FC Tripimeni (KOPA - London) v Oyster Martyrs (Liverpool)
Elm Farm (Aylesbury Comb) v Canada (Liverpool)
Lea Hall S & S (Birmingham Festival) v Hetton Lyons Cricket Club (Durham)
Tripimeni v Oyster Martyrs is probably the tie of the round, closely followed by Lea Hall v Hetton Lyons.
Lakeside and Comets have both reached the semi finals in recent seasons and should be another quality match up. The remaining game is between debutants Elm Farm and the vastly experienced Canada, who were the first Liverpool side to reach the semi final, way back in 1970.

4th Round Preview
Whitwick Compass 2008 v Lea Hall Sports & Social
This east v west midlands derby pits two debutants against each other, as Whitwick Compass of the Charnwood league take on Birmingham Festival league side Lea Hall.
Lea Hall notched an impressive third round win over New Salamis who are arguably London’s finest Sunday side, having won the London FA Sunday Challenge Cup three times in the last four seasons and were heavily tipped to do well in the Sunday Cup.
Whitwick Compass have already accounted for Lea Hall’s Festival league rivals Bartley Green in round one and ended the Sunday Cup hopes of Lobster in round three (after they had beaten last season’s runners up, Paddock in round two).
I make Lea Hall favourites to win this game and become the first Festival league side to reach the quarter final since Wernley in 2007.
Hetton Lyons v Kelloe WMC
These two sides know each other very well, as they both hail from the Durham Sunday league.
Three time winners Hetton are bidding to become only the second team to appear in four finals – St Josephs (Luton) were the first – and reclaim the trophy they lifted in 2006, 2008 and 2010. So, will this pattern continue in 2012? If they can maintain their current form, there is every chance, as Hetton have a perfect record so far this season, having won all of there 19 league and cup games.
Kelloe beat Hetton in three cup competitions last season, with the most memorable victory coming in the Durham County FA Sunday Cup, a tournament that Hetton had won for five consecutive seasons! However, Kelloe are struggling in the league (Hetton have already beaten them twice,
5-1 and 7-0) and have only won three of their eight league games.
Hetton start as clear favourites to reach the quarter finals and for me (along with Oyster Martyrs) they remain the teams to beat in this competition.
Birstall Stamford v Oyster Martyrs
This is probably the tie of the round and should be an absolute cracker of a game.
Like Whitwick Compass, Birstall Stamford hail from the Charnwood league and have an impressive Sunday football pedigree, which I have covered previously, so I won’t repeat again.
Their opponents from Croxteth in Liverpool, an area rich in footballing talent, which has produced three FA Sunday Cup finalists.
I think Oyster will win this one but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Birstall Stamford push them all the way to extra time.
FC Tripimeni v Dee Road Rangers
Another tie that caught the eye sees Tripimeni of the Kopa league entertain Dee Road from Reading.
Both teams made their Sunday Cup debut last season. Dee Road were first round casualties, losing 5-3 to Club Lewsey. FC Tripimeni-Aris as they were known last season, reached the third round, where they lost narrowly to eventual semi finalists, Duke of York from Northampton.
Dee Road quietly navigated their way through the early rounds this season, as they dispatched Broadfields United from Harrow and C. K. from Bristol. However, it was their very impressive 5-0 third round win over 2010 semi finalists Hazelhurst, that has made people sit up and take notice.
Tripimeni have comfortably progressed through three rounds without being pushed to hard. I think Dee Road will certainly give them a game but I find this tie too hard to call.
