ELLINGHAM & Ringwood's National Cup campaign begins again on Saturday after they were reinstated in the competition for the second time this season.

After reaching the third round for the first time in the club's history with wins over Stoneham Park and Fleet, the New Forest side thought their cup run was over when they lost to Old Amplefordians.

However, their opponents had fielded an ineligible player which prompted competition administrators to hand Ellingham & Ringwood a second chance of cup glory.

They were then beaten by Old Haileyburians but they too were later discovered to have fielded an ineligible player and also disqualified.

Sussex side Newick now visit Picket Post on Saturday for the fifth round tie.
