Springhead welcome Great Driffield to Harness Park after making the semi final last Sunday without kicking a ball. Driffield went out of the cup by the narrowest of margins in losing 1-0 to Preston United . This is another six point game as their first meeting was postponed back in November.
SWANLAND V PRESTON UNITED WEST LEYS ROAD, SWANLAND- REFEREE JOHN SUTTON
Swanland v Preston United at West Leys Road is also a six pointer, which will see the winner, should there be one, gain a huge advantage as they look to chase second place behind Bottesford Town. Both sides were in extremely tight games last Sunday, Swanland went through on penalties after a 0-0 draw against Botanic Fire. Preston got past Great Driffield with the only goal of the game.
DIVISION FOUR
AFC NORTH V BRIGG TOWN RWB PLAYING FIELD, CUMBRIAN WAY, BRANSHOLME- REFEREE PAUL WARREN
There is a huge match towards the top of the table at the RWB as AFC North entertain Brigg Town. Both sides are level on points but crucially AFC North have two games in hand and a win for them would probably end the visitors chances of taking the title but a win for Brigg would give them hope. When they met at Brigg it ended in a 1-0 win for the visitors.
BLACKBURN LEISURE B V BRANDESBURTON SKILLINGS LANE, BROUGH- REFEREE GARY HALLATT MATCH POSTPONED- RE-ARRANGED FOR 12TH APRIL
Blackburn Leisure B take on Brandesburton in a six pointer at Brough after both sides suffered heavy defeats in the cup last Sunday, Blackies with a weakened side went down 7-0 at North Ferriby Sporting whilst Brandesburton lost 8-2 to AFC North.
HOLME ROVERS V NORTH FERRIBY SPORTING MARKET WEIGHTON SCHOOL- REFEREE DAVE WEDGE MATCH POSTPONED- CONCEDED BY HOLME ROVERS
Holme Rovers will want a response to their heartbreaking penalty shoot out defeat at Brigg Town last Sunday following a 4-4 draw when they take on North Ferriby Sporting. The visitors won 7-0 against Blackburn Leisure B last weekend so they will be confident of avenging a 3-2 home defeat when the sides met at South Hunsley in January.
DIVISION FIVE
BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS B V MOLESCROFT RANGERS A RUDSTON ROAD, BURTON AGNES – REFEREE NEIL WOODCOCK
Bridlington Town Rovers B have moved their home game against Molescroft Rangers A to Burton Agnes to ensure it goes ahead. Neither side played last Sunday so they both should be up for the game. Brid won 2-1 at Hull University earlier in the season and another close game is expected.

GIPSYVILLE BOSUN V NORTHERN WANDERERS B COSTELLO PLAYING FIELD- REFEREE CAN URGAN GEORG DELA SAGA
Both Gipsyville Bosun and Northern Wanderers B, who meet at Costello in a bottom two clash on Sunday, exited the cup last weekend. Bosun went down 3-1 at Hessle Rangers whilst Northern suffered a 9-0 hammering at the hands of AAK S+S B. Bosun won 5-1 at Winifred Holtby in the Autumn and will fancy their chances of completing the double.
SPARTANS V AFC WILLERBY C HULL UNIVERSITY, INGLEMIRE LANE- REFEREE ANDREW MCNAUGHT
Just a week since they met in the divisional cup Spartans and AFC Willerby C go again at Hull University. Willerby won that game 6-1 and the home side will have to respond to avoid another defeat given that they also lost 4-1 in the reverse fixture at Wolfreton College last October.
DIVISION SIX
BARHAM V PRIORY ALDERMAN KNEESHAW PARK, BARHAM ROAD- REFEREE GED STEAD
Two sides who were involved in high scoring cup games last weekend meet at Alderman Kneeshaw Park as Barham host Priory. Barham came back from 4-2 down to beat AFC Willerby D 5-4. The visitors lost 6-4 at home to Little Weighton. Their first meeting this season ended in a 5-3 win for Barham. Based on these stats a 0-0 draw is unlikely on Sunday.
EASINGTON UNITED V SWANLAND B LOW FARM, BECK STREET, EASINGTON- REFEREE SAM OUTING
It is bottom versus top as Easington United welcome leaders Swanland B to Low Farm. Easington had the week off whilst Swanland won 3-0 at Tickton last Sunday. Easington also played Tickton in their last game going down narrowly 2-1. The game at Swanland earlier in the season produced a nine goal thriller which the home side edged 5-4, will it be as close on Sunday.
MOLESCROFT RANGERS B V AFC WILLERBY D BISHOP BURTON COLLEGE- REFEREE ALLAN COPE
Molescroft Rangers B host AFC Willerby D at Bishop Burton College looking to build on their 4-1 win at Hedon Rangers B last Sunday. The visitors will be wondering how they managed to lose their cup game against Barham after being 4-2 up late in the game before going down 5-4. Molescroft won the match at Wolfreton 5-0 and will be confident of doing the double.
TICKTON V HEDON RANGERS B LONGCROFT SCHOOL, BEVERLEY- REFEREE GEORG DELA SAGA MATCH POSTPONED- CONCEDED BY HEDON RANGERS B WHO ARE UNABLE TO RAISE A TEAM.
Both Tickton and Hedon Rangers B who meet at Longcroft School lost their cup matches last Sunday by three goal margins. Tickton were beaten by Swanland B 3-0 whilst Hedon went down 4-1 to Molescroft Rangers B. The game at South Holderness ended in a 4-4 draw and another close game is on the cards.

BRIDLINGTON TOWN ROVERS V HORNSEA TOWN GYPSEY ROAD, BRIDLINGTON- REFEREE ALAN ROSE
Old rivals Bridlington Town Rovers and Hornsea Town meet for a place in the semi finals just a few weeks after playing each other in the league. That game ended in a 3-2 win for the visitors and followed a similar pattern for Brid as they went down to another single goal defeat their third out of four games. Can they get revenge on Sunday.
BRIGG TOWN V SWANLAND MATCH POSTPONED- CONCEDED BY SWANLAND WHO ARE UNABLE TO RAISE A TEAM
LOUTH V RECKITTS LONDON ROAD, LOUTH- REFEREE NICK HOPPER
Louth take on Reckitts looking to avenge a 4-1 home defeat to them at the end of January. Louth haven`t played since that game, Reckitts played out a 0-0 draw with Blackburn Leisure in their last outing. Louth who were beaten finalists last season will want to go one better this season but face a difficult task on Sunday.
PRESTON UNITED V NORTH FERRIBY ADDISON ROAD, PRESTON- REFEREE GED STEAD MATCH POSTPONED – TO BE RE-ARRANGED
Preston United take on North Ferriby for the third time this season with both sides having a big win at their opponents ground in their two league games. Preston won 5-1 at Barton in January, whilst Ferriby had a 5-0 win at Addison Road last Autumn, so who will win the decider and make it through to the semi finals.
