Rhyl 1879 have been drawn against Cymru Premier side Caernarfon Town as their reward for reaching the JD Welsh Cup semi-finals.

Second-tier phoenix club Rhyl 1879 stunned six-time winners Barry Town 2-1 in the major shock of the quarter-finals and will aim to repeat the heroics when the semi-finals take place on 6-8 March.

Flint Town United, another Welsh top-flight side, will take on third-tier Bangor 1876, who created a shock of their own in the quarter-finals as they beat Cymru South side Caerau Ely 3-1.

Flint Town United beat third-tier Trearddur Bay 3-0 to reach the final four, while in the only all-Cymru Premier tie of the previous round, Caernarfon Town comfortably saw off Colwyn Bay 4-1.

That left four north Wales sides to contest the last four with the aim of reaching the final at Newport County's Rodney Parade home on Sunday, 12 April (15:15 GMT).

The Football Association of Wales rejected calls for the final to be moved closer to north Wales, sticking with Newport for the occasion.
