The Berks & Bucks County FA have confirmed to Football in Berkshire the draw for the semi-finals is due to be released on Thursday 3rd March at 1 pm.

On Tuesday, Ascot manager Jamie Tompkins told FiB he was hoping for a home tie against Wycombe after the Chairboys took a healthy crowd to Long Crendon for their Quarter Final, but attendances have been high whenever one of the league sides comes to town with supporters well aware the opposition will usually field a mix of under 23s and fringe players.
