The Macron Cup will definitely have one Premier Division side in the Final. The winners of Charnock Richard v Padiham will face the winners of the Skelmersdale United v Macclesfield tie.

In the other half of the draw, Congleton Town are the only Premier Division side remaining. If they beat Bacup Borough, then they will travel to either Barnton or the winners of the Cammell Laird 1907 v Wythenshawe Amateurs tie.
