The draw was made at Anfield by the Liverpool and England defender for the penultimate stage of the 41st season of the flagship Sunday League Football competition.

Jamie has a keen interest in The FA Sunday Cup, as his brother Paul used to turn out for one of Liverpool’s local sides.

"The FA Sunday Cup is an important and very competitive competition," he said. "I’d like to congratulate the teams that have got this far. At this stage of the game anyone can win.

"I have a particular interest in this season’s competition with my brother’s connection with Seaburn."

The draw was made by Jamie and Mike Mainwaring, Sponsorship Manager of Carlsberg after the weekend's Fifth Round.

Crosby Sunday League side, Seaburn continued to impress after disposing of Durham’s Hetton Lyons Cricket Club 1-0.

Their reward is a semi-final home tie against 2000 finalists, Albion Sports who stormed to victory at the weekend with a 3-1 win over Reading Irish.

The quarter final tie between Canada Edinburgh Park and St Aloysius ‘E was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

This match will now be played on Sunday 20 February.

The winner of this round will head south to take on Berkhamsted outfit, Gossoms End who edged out Casino 2-1 at the weekend.

The FA Sunday Cup gives the country’s leading Sunday League sides the unique chance to compete against each other in a nationally recognised competition and to reach the final at a prestigious ground.

This season’s final will be played on Sunday 24 April and for the third season running will be played at Anfield.

Rick Parry, Chief Executive of Liverpool FC, said ‘I’m thrilled that the final of The FA Sunday Cup is returning once again to Anfield and thank you to The FA for giving us the chance to host what is one of the highlights of the non-league football calendar."

This is the third season that Carlsberg has been The FA’s presenting partner for The FA Sunday Cup, which forms an integral part of their support of football in this country.

Carlsberg is also The FA’s partner for The FA Trophy and The FA Vase, highlighting their commitment to non-league and grassroots football.
