Semi Final venue

Oyster Martyrs v Branksome Railway/Plough Wellington will be played at Marine.

Humbledon Plains Farm v Hundred Acre will be played at Hartlepool United.

Games to be played on 16th March.

Sunday 23rd Feb

At the sixth time of asking, AYFCS and Plough Wellington have finally managed to play their outstanding 4th round game. Plough Wellington winning 4-2 after extra time.

Plough will now travel to Wimborne Town next Sunday where they will play Branksome Railway for a place in the semi final.

The winners of that game will travel North to play Oyster Martyrs, who beat Allerton 2-1 in their quarter final game today.

Semi Final draw

Games to be played on 16th March - 2.00pm kick off:

Humbledon Plains Farm v Hundred Acre

Allerton or Oyster Martyrs v AYFCS/Plough Wellington or Branksome Railway

Venues to be announced later. As the FA like to play Sunday Cup semi finals at Marine, I think its a safe bet that is where the Allerton/Oyster v whoever will be played.

I'm not sure which ground the FA will choose for the other semi final. The last one played up there was two years ago, when Hetton Lyons beat Oyster at Billingham Synthonia. Prior to that, Durham City and Hartlepool United have been used.

This is the third semi final for Humbledon Plains Farm. They played their first at Spennymoor in 1988, when they beat Avenue from Birkenhead. Three finals were played at Spennymoor in the 1970s, so the ground has a special relationship with the Sunday cup, so it could be played there.

Sunday 16th Feb

4th Round
Allerton 5 Whitwick Compass 1
AYFCS v Plough Wellington - Postponed

5th Round
Chapeltown Fforde Grene 3 Humbledon Plains Farm 6 AET (2-2 after 90 mins)
Upshire 3 Hundred Acre 3 - Hundred Acre won 3-1 on penalties

Sunday 9th Feb

Once again, the appalling weather we are currently experiencing has put pay to the two outstanding 4th round ties, so the teams involved will try again (for the fifth consecutive week) next Sunday, to see who will progress to the quarter final.

After two failed attempts at home and two away, the games will revert to the two sides (AYFCS and Allerton) who were drawn at home.

AYFCS will be hoping to play their game at Aylesbury FC. Although as you can see below, that game is in doubt already!

Sunday 2nd February results

Upshire 5 Lebeqs Tavern Courage 2
Oyster Martyrs 4 Witton Park Rose & Crown 0

As confirmed yesterday, AYFCS v Plough FC Wellington and Witton Park Rose & Crown v Oyster Martyrs were both postponed.

Sunday 2nd Feb

Given the awful weather we are currently experiencing, it is unsurprising to learn that some of the outstanding fourth round ties have already fallen foul of the weather.

Both Plough Wellington v AYFCS and Whitwick Compass v Allerton will not be played tomorrow.

Upshire v Lebeqs Tavern Courage are hopeful of playing at Cheshunt. No word as yet on the Oyster Martyrs v Witton Park Rose & Crown game.

5th round draw

Ties to be played on 16th February (2.00pm KO)

1) Chapeltown Fforde Grene v Humbledon Plains Farm

2) Allerton or Whitwick Compass v Witton Park Rose & Crown or Oyster Martyrs

3) Branksome Railway v AYFCS or Plough Wellington

4) Lebeqs Tavern Courage or Upshire v Hundred Acre

Sunday 26th January

Unsurprisingly, all outstanding fourth round ties were postponed today. As that is the second time the side drawn at home has been unable to host the game, they will now forfeit home advantage and travel away next Sunday.

Sunday 19th Jan - 4th round results

Thornhill Lees 2 Chapeltown Fforde Grene 3 AET
Humbledon Plains Farm 6 Mariners 0
Hundred Acre 2 FC Houghton Centre 0
