The reply will decide whether they go through to the final.

Tonight Hinckley AFC will take part in a penalty shoot-out against Atherstone Town to determine who will play in the League Cup final.

Their semi-final match was abandoned last week during penalties.

When the game was called off the shoot out was at 1-1 after a 1-1 draw between the sides over 90 minutes.

As 90 minutes were completed, the Birmingham County FA decided that only the penalty shoot-out will be replayed. It will start at 0-0 with all kicks to be re-taken.

The match will be finished behind closed doors and the teams have urged fans to not try and attend as they will not be allowed in.

The winners of the shoot-out will face Whitchurch Alport in the final at Walsall’s Bescot Stadium.
