The four quarter-finals of the Barlow Cup were all played and the semi-finalists are now set for action on Easter Monday.
The sides that finished first and second in last season’s Division Two met at the semi-final stage last season but could now meet in the final this year.
In last year’s semi, Holmfirth Town beat Shelley 2-0 and went on to beat Britannia Sports in the final at the John Smith’s Stadium.
Holmfirth are on course to retain the Cup after beating Hepworth United 1-0.
They won the toss and decided to play up the slope, hoping to keep it tight. They not only kept a clean sheet but took the lead after 15 minutes.
A midfield move ended when Neil Robshaw found Paul Jagger in the box. He was impeded, and a penalty would have been given, but referee Dwayne Chappell allowed the advantage and Jagger found the bottom corner of the net.
The one-goal lead at the break was more than Holmfirth had expected, but their chances were improved even more when after 55 minutes when a straight red was shown and Hepworth were down to 10 men.
It may have affected Hepworth’s chances numerically, but the 10 men rose to the occasion and brought several good saves from Holmfirth’s keeper Jez Travers, but he kept a clean sheet to send his side through.
Holmfirth will meet Berry Brow in the semi-finals and this should prove to be a very close affair.
Earlier in the season, the Brow beat Holmfirth Town by the odd goal in the Huddersfield FA Cup, but that result has been reversed twice in the last fortnight.
The clubs met twice on successive Saturdays with Holmfirth winning by the odd goal and, by coincidence, their winner came in added time on both occasions.
Brow reached the semi-finals after they defeated Skelmanthorpe 4-2.
It was difficult to pick the favourite for this match as it was a case of second bottom of Division One at home to the second top side in Division Two, but the team from the higher division won.
The first 45 minutes was even, although the Brow had more chances. The score was 1-1 at the break with both sides scoring spectacular goals.
Firstly, after 15 minutes, Skelmanthorpe took the lead when Ryan Jagger struck a right-foot valley into the top corner of the Brow net.
Twenty minutes later it was 1-1 with an even better goal, as Liam Walton fired in a shot from 35 yards that left the keeper helpless.
In the second half, Brow took the lead for the first time when Chris Senior shot across the keeper into the far corner and, in the 86th minute, the lead was extended with an Alex Thomas goal.
Thomas then scored a tap-in in added time to make it 4-1, but from the kick-off, Skelmanthorpe went to the other end and made it 4-2 with a goal from Jamie Jagger.
The other semi-final will be between Shelley and Kirkheaton Rovers. Shelley had a convincing 6-1 win over Heyside but Kirkheaton were taken to penalties before they beat Meltham Athletic.
The fact that Shelley beat Heyside was to be expected as Shelley are second in Division One, but the 6-1 scoreline was greater than most would have expected as Heyside had conceded only 18 times in their 16 League games.
Jamie Bootland started the ball rolling for Shelley after 20 minutes. Chris Parker and Andy Smith added one each before the break which gave Shelley a comfortable 3-0 half-time lead. Daniel Wooliscroft pulled one back for Heyside but it was only temporary relief.
After 60 minutes, Parker made it 4-1 and within five minutes, Smith added his second to extend the lead to 5-1. With 15 minutes to play, Parker completed his hat trick to end the scoring and a 6-1 triumph for Shelley.
Kirkheaton Rovers had a much closer game and penalties proved the downfall of their opponents, Meltham Athletic.
Normal time produced only half chances and none of these were taken, so extra time was needed.
After 10 minutes, Rovers took the lead. Ryan O’Hara was set free with only the keeper to beat and he finished calmly. In the last minute of extra time’s first half Meltham wasted the chance to equalise when they were awarded a penalty, but the spot kick hit a post.
There were no more goals until the last minute of the second period of extra time. Then a cross was played into the Rovers box. It was met by a Meltham head but the effort struck the woodwork. The ball then rolled along the line and Alex Gee had the simple task of tapping home.
In the penalty shoot-out, Meltham missed twice which allowed the Rovers to go through 4-2.
