Dulwich Hamlet will take on Tranmere Rovers in the last four of the Buildbase FA Trophy if the Ryman League's flag-bearers can overcome Macclesfield Town in their quarter-final replay on Tuesday night.

After drawing 2-2 with the Silkmen on Saturday in front of a season best crowd of 2,834 at Champion Hill, Gavin Rose's side were paired with the former Football League club in Monday morning's semi-final draw at Wembley Stadium.

Broadcast live on Periscope for fans around the world before Hamlet head north on Tuesday night for their replay at the National League club, the south Londoners and the Silkmen were first out of the bag with the winners set to host Tranmere on Saturday March 11 before the second leg on March 18.

As well as place in the final on Non-League Finals Day at the national stadium on May 21, the winners of the semi-finals will bank £16,000 in prize money to add to their £8,000 reward as victors in the quarter-final.
