Who can Gateshead face in the FA Trophy semi-final? When is the cup draw? Everything you need to know

Gateshead sealed their place in the final four of the FA Trophy for the second time in the club’s history after defeating tier 6 side, Farsley Celtic, on penalties 4-2 following an initial 0-0 draw.

With the Heed plagued by injuries, it was a coup to reach the semi-final, where they have it all to do if they are to make a Wembley appearance in May. Of course Gateshead fell short at this stage in 2018, when Bromley won a closely-fought two-match battle 4-3.

But Mike Williamson’s men will surely hope to make it one step further this time and be within touching distance of major silverware. Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the FA Trophy semi-finals.
