Only four teams have so far made it through to The FA Vase Quarter Finals and they avoided each other in today’s Sixth Round draw at Wembley.
Needham Market from the Eastern Counties League have some impressive form in The Vase, having reached the Quarter Finals last year and the Semi-Finals the year before that. They will now play Royston Town or Wroxham at home.
Gresley’s reward for edging a seven-goal thriller at Long Buckby on Saturday is a home tie against Whitehawk or Marske United. The Derbyshire side were 4-1 up after 68 minutes but were hanging on at the end.
Vase holders Whitley Bay are still in this season’s competition after drawing 1-1 at Chertsey Town at the weekend, both goals coming in the first ten minutes. If they win Saturday’s replay at Hillheads Park, they won’t have to travel too far with Shildon waiting to take them on at Dean Street.
Those Sixth Round ties are scheduled for 27 February, with the four winners each collecting £5,000 from the prize fund.
