There were three FA Vase Sixth Round Proper ties on Saturday

North Shields fans marched down to London en-masse to cheer their side to a 2-0 win, putting them just one tie way from a return to the capital for The FA Vase Final. 

Their trip to Park View Road, just 20 miles from Wembley, was a successful one thanks to second-half goals from Dean Holmes and Adam Forster.

Meanwhile, AFC St Austell will continue to proudly fly the flag for Cornwall after seeing off Ascot United by 3-2 in a topsy-turvy encounter at Poltair Park. 

After Martin Giles put the hosts into an eighth-minute lead, goals from Damien Markman and Daryl McLean turned the tie on its head and sent the Yellamen into the break a goal to the good.

But cheered on by an incredible crowd of 1,443, they drew level through Neil Slateford on the hour mark and Liam Eddy struck moments later to see them through to the Semi-Final, becoming the first South West Peninsula League side to do so in the process.

Highworth Town and Tadcaster Albion will have to do it all again on Saturday after drawing 1-1 after extra time in front of more than 700 at the Elms. 

Home captain TJ Bohane put the hosts ahead with a penalty at the start of the second half, but the Yorkshire side levelled the game with a spot-kick of their own which Callum Ward converted following a hand-ball in a crowded penalty area.

Meanwhile, a big turnout is anticipated for Shaw Lane Aquaforce's tie against Glossop North End, which will be played on Sunday 1 March at Handsworth Parramore's Sandy Lane ground in Worksop, after the Barnsley club's pitch did not pass a 1pm inspection.

The Semi-Final draw takes place on Monday at 11.30.
