National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Welwyn Garden City or New Salamis that keep their silverware dream alive.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
