Tyersal seeking second County Cup triumph

7:00pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in Sport By Philip Rhodes

Weather permitting, Tyersal and Bay Athletic, the two sides from the West Riding County Amateur League left in the West Riding County FA Challenge Cup, will be seeking a place in the semi-finals  on Saturday.

Tyersal, whose only success in the competition came in 1994 when they beat Brighouse Town 2-1 in the final at Thackley, entertain East Lancashire League side Rimington at Arkwright Street (1pm).

Victories over Westbrook YMCA, Wyke Wanderers and Stanningley Old Boys have brought Tyersal to the last eight, while Rimington's victims include Tyersal’s Premier Division rivals Golcar United and Ovenden West Riding.

Bay Athletic host West Yorkshire League Division One side Robin Hood Athletic at Ossett Town's Ingfield ground - their temporary home until the end of the season.

Campion Reserves hope to progress in the West Riding County FA Trophy when they make a third attempt to play their fourth-round tie at home to Oxenhope Recreation Reserves.

In the Premier Division, third-placed Ovenden West Riding visit Salts, who are level on points but have played five games more.

Leaders Steeton, with a seven-point advantage over second-placed Bay, are seeking to stretch their lead at Marsden.
