Denholme, who beat holders Stump Cross 2-1 on Saturday, will fancy their chances of reaching the last eight away to fellow Division One side Elland Allstars.

West Central, 5-2 victors away to last year’s beaten finalists Sowerby United, will need to take an even bigger scalp to make further progress.
