The annual competition, one of the oldest domestic cups in the world having been launched in 1877, sees two exciting semi-final ties take place over the next two days.

Action begins tonight, where Midland Premier outfit Market Drayton Town do battle against Midland Division One Haughmond, last season’s runners-up, at Whitchurch Alport’s Yockings Park (7.45pm kick-off).

The winner of that tie will face either Shifnal Town or defending champions Whitchurch Alport, two rivals from the step five Midland Premier. Alport saw off Haughmond 3-2 in a dramatic final last May.

Their tie takes place tomorrow at Drayton’s Greenfields home at 7.45pm. The final will be played at the end of the season.
