Semi-finals

[edit]

The draw was made on 5 February, with matches originally scheduled to be played on 4 March at neutral venues.[8] Cardiff City and Abergavenny both were reinstated into the competition, having originally been eliminated by Cardiff Met in the second round and quarter-final respectively, after it had emerged that The Archers had fielded two under-aged players in the game against Cardiff City. City then beat Abergavenny in a replayed quarter final to take a place in the semi-finals.[9]
