The date for Newcastle's Techflow Group Northumberland FA Senior Cup semi-final tie against Morpeth Town has been set.
United will entertain the Northern League Division One side at Whitley Park on Tuesday, 17th February with a 7.30pm kick-off.
Peter Beardsley's Magpies beat Team Northumbria 7-0 in the last eight as Sean Longstaff hit a hat-trick on top of goals from Alex Gilliead, Greg Olley, Dan Ward and Stefan Broccoli.
Morpeth, meanwhile, overcame North Shields in the first round before edging out West Allotment Celtic after extra time in the quarter-finals.
Newcastle are the current holders of the competition, having thrashed Blyth Spartans 4-0 in last year's final at St. James' Park.
Blyth will take on Whitley Bay in the other semi-final.
