Goatacre, tournament winners in 1988 and 1990, will now host Gloucestershire’s Charlton Kings, whose dream run in their inaugural tournament continues after they defeated Somerset’s Temple Cloud.
A third former winner, three-time winners Reed, from Hertfordshire, lost their tie at Surrey side Blackheath.
In the Midlands, Nottinghamshire club Cuckney will entertain Herefordshire’s Brockhampton after their home defeats of Quatt, from Shropshire, and South Wingfield, from Derbyshire, respectively.
