Semi-Final Draw
Ties to be played
1st Leg - Saturday 15 February
2nd Leg - Saturday 22 February

 

Grimsby Town, who lost to Wrexham on penalties in last season’s Final, are one aggregate victory away from another trip to Wembley.

They face Cambridge United, who only have Luton Town above them in the Conference Premier.

Gosport Borough, from near Portsmouth in Hampshire, were a Wessex League club as recently as 2007 and after three promotions have made it up to the Conference South in fairytale fashion.

Experienced manager Alex Pike took Wimborne Town to FA Vase glory at Wembley back in 1992.

There will be a Hampshire side in The Final because Gosport have been paired with Havant & Waterlooville, who beat Aldershot Town in their Fourth Round tie on Tuesday night.

The two Semi-Final winners will each collect £16,000 from The FA’s prize fund and meet at Wembley on 23 March.

The Draw

1 Havant & Waterlooville v Gosport Borough

2 Cambridge United v Grimsby Town

Ties to be played: 1st Leg - Saturday 15 February; 2nd Leg - Saturday 22 February
