Quested, Fairweather Green WMC, St Margaret's and Travellers, who did not compete last season, will this weekend be looking to win a place in the quarter-finals.

Success will bring them one step closer to reaching the final of The FA Sunday Cup, the pinnacle of Sunday league football competitions, to be played on Sunday, April 27.

Quested and Travellers stormed their way into the Fourth Round with emphatic 7-0 victories, sharing the best home win of the round honours with St Joseph's (Luton).

Having knocked out local rivals Old Oak at the beginning of December, Kent-based Quested now face a trip to Northamptonshire to take on Duke of York, who lost in the quarter-finals last season.

Travellers, from Birmingham, are away to Bedfordshire-based Casino Cars who, in their former guise as Kempston Fox, were knocked out of last season's competition at the First Round. Bradford-based Fairweather Green WMC are at home to A3 (Canada), from Liverpool, who were beaten by eventual losing semi-finalists Albion Sports in last season's Third Round.

St Margaret's, from Northamptonshire, face a trip to Bradford to take on Albion Sports, who were runners-up in the final in 2000 and who recorded one of the best away wins of the previous round.

The Fourth Round of The FA Sunday Cup will be played on Sunday, January 12, kick-off 1pm. Queensmen, from Bedfordshire, face one of the toughest hurdles of the round.

They are away to local rivals St Joseph's (Luton) who have been finalists in the competition on four occasions, winning twice.

Elsewhere, Durham-based Hartlepool Lion Hillcarter, former winners of The FA Sunday Cup, are at home to St Aloysius 'E, from Liverpool.

Allerton, also from Liverpool, who were beaten by eventual winners Britannia in the Third Round of the competition last season, entertain Jolly Farmers, from Nottingham.

Hertfordshire side Hammer face a trip to Henley-on-Thames to take on Reading Irish. Both sides were knocked out of the competition last season at the Second Round.

Winners of the Fourth Round will be awarded £250 each with £100 going to each of the losing sides.

The Fifth Round of The FA Sunday Cup will be played on Sunday, February 2.
