LAST season's West Riding County FA Cup finalists Silsden and Barnoldswick Town have had contrasting fortunes in the Round Three draw, with holders Silsden travelling to Halifax Irish Club and the West Close men having home advantage against Bay Athletic on December 6.
Silsden's challenge comes from fellow County Amateur League members, so they will be favourites to progress, but Town face a tough test if their opponents' Round Two result is a reliable guide.
Huddersfield-based Bay, from the Premier Division of the West Riding County Amateur League, ousted Whitkirk Wanderers, one of the strongest clubs in the Leeds area, last weekend and are sure to give Town a run for their money.
Settle United have a strong incentive to make home advantage count in their replay against Pannal Sports, with a home tie against Warley Rangers from Halifax awaiting the winners.
The only Craven League side still surviving, Keighley Lifts, will visit the winners of tomorrow's Knaresborough Town/Ripon City Magnets replay.
In the Trophy competition, Craven pair Carleton and Skipton Bulldogs have been paired for the third time this season at Ramper Park. The neighbours have already been drawn together in the Craven League's Division Two League Cup and in the Craven FA Morrison Cup.
Cross Hills will visit Prince of Wales if they can win tomorrow's replay against Aberford Albion Reserves.
Silsden's Sunday side will entertain Tuckers, while in the Under 16 Junior Cup, Skipton Town have home advantage against Southowram Colts and Silsden have the winners of the Ashville Juniors/Altofts replay as their visitors.
