The toss of the coin favoured two Cumbrian clubs when the weather interfered with ECB National Cup games.
A number of matches in the competition had been washed out after a later than intended start to the competition and with fixture dates decreased it meant ties had to be settled by the old fashioned way.
With no chance of bowl-outs modern technology allowed independent spins of the coin to settle those postponed ties.
As a result Whitehaven went through against Westhoughton while Furness were successful against Foulridge.
Subsequently Whitehaven will travel to Netherfield this Sunday while Furness are away to Southport and Birkdale
Kendal weren’t involved in the preliminary round but they have a home first round tie against Northern League rivals Leyland.
Ads previously recorded Workington travel to Garstang as a result of their victory over Padiham on Sunday.
