The local rivals were set to meet at Coolhurst in the last eight of the competition.

But player availability issues from Pulborough have meant they have conceded the chance of a local derby.

Boro captain Simon Burfiend said: “We were supposed to be playing Horsham in the cup, however with our main focus being on the league this season, and with key players in key positions being unavailable - as it should have been a rest week so plans have been made - it would not be fair to detriment the success of the other Pulborough sides to fulfil a fixture against Horsham in the cup.”

Horsham’s next fixture is away to Deal & Betteshanger who presently lie third in the table on March 19 - while Pulborough host Folkestone.
