NORTHWICH will need to win another knockout tie on their travels after being paired with league rivals Wilmslow in the Cheshire RFU Vase last four.

Blacks, conquerors of Altrincham Kersal in a quarter-final tie back in August, are attempting to reach the final for the first time since 2008.

They visit their North One West foes, who saw off Anselmians in the previous round, on a date to be decided.

Meanwhile Birkenhead Park head to Crewe & Nantwich, currently bottom in Midlands One West, in the other last-four encounter.
