Dunstable Town were unfortunate last night at the New Roker Park against mid table Southern League Division One Central Stotfold. Sadly only Shefford Town & Campton remain in the competition from the SSML and will host Biggleswade FC or Biggleswade Town in the Quarter Finals:

Good luck to Shefford Town & Campton this evening in their Bedfordshire FA Senior Challenge Cup Quarter Final tie with Southern League Division One Central Biggleswade FC. AFC Dunstable await the winners in the Semi Final at Creasey Park with the other Semi Final between Luton Town and Barton Rovers or Stotfold:
