Semi-finals
The four clubs to have made it through the quarter-finals were entered into the semi-finals draw. The draw for the semi-finals took place on 21 March 2013, with Cammell Laird from the Northern Premier League Division One North remaining as the lowest-placed team still in the Cup.[14] Witton Albion was removed from the semi-finals due to fielding an ineligible player on 19 February 2013 against F.C. United of Manchester since the player had already represented Curzon Ashton in a previous round on 27 November 2012. Curzon Ashton was reinstated to play Matlock Town in place of Witton Albion in the semi-finals.[15]
