THE route to President’s Cup glory has been mapped out for North Yorkshire rivals Pickering Town and Scarborough Athletic.

The two sides are due to collide in round two on Tuesday, January 27 and the draw for the semi-final will see the winner host Hall Road Rangers or Parkgate on Tuesday, March 3.

Pickering booked their place in round two with a 5-2 win over Selby in September with Luke Ibbetson scoring twice.

The Pikes are also hitting the League Cup trail this month when they travel to Arnold in round two on Tuesday, January 20.

The winners have been drawn away to Rainworth Miners Welfare in round three, while Selby will host Nostell in round three on January 20.

The draw for round four could see Pickering travel to Liversedge or Winterton, with Selby hosting Hallam, Thackley or Eccleshill.

Meanwhile, Pickering and Selby are among seven NCEL clubs which have applied to join the UniBond League next season.

The North Yorkshire duo are joined by Arnold, Bridlington, Long Eaton, Mickleover Sports and Thackley.
