A Dan Evans hat-trick delivered a 3-1 quarter-final win for Deeping who are joined in the semi-finals by Division One leaders Warboys Town and Premier Division pair Stamford Bels and Moulton Harrox.

Warboys also beat top-flight opposition, romping to a 4-1 win at Oakham, by Harrox gained a modicum of revenge for the Premier Division with a 2-1 win at First Division Whittlesey Athletic Reserves. Josh Ford and Stacy Cartwright scored for Harrox.

The only all top-flight quarter-final saw Stamford Bels pip neighbours Wittering Premiair with a single goal from Mitchell Lyth. Louie Roberts was sent off for the winners who also had three players booked.
