It seems a long time since Town beat Kettering in a penalty shoot-out to advance into the semi finals of this competition but at last some progress is being made.

The Southern League have today announced that Royston Town have been expelled for fielding an ineligible player in their third round tie against Lowestoft Town and accordingly Lowestoft have been reinstated.

They will now play in the  fourth round against Berkhamstead on Tuesday April 2nd after which the semi final draw will be made with the semi final ties being scheduled for the following Tuesday April 9th.

Apart from Town the other teams already through to that stage are Blackfield and Langley and Cinderford Town.
