OXENHOPE will face Salts in the West Riding County FA Challenge Cup semi-final after Settle United's appeal against their expulsion was dismissed.

The Craven League side beat their West Yorkshire League opponents 3-2 in the quarter-finals but were thrown out of the competition after fielding an ineligible player.

Settle appealed but the county have upheld their decision to reinstate Oxenhope, who will now meet West Riding County Amateur League side Salts at Woodlesford on Thursday, April 2.
