The draw for the first round proper of the FA Vase has been made, with 101 ties drawn at Wembley earlier today featuring a host of sides who claimed notable qualifying wins in the previous round.
The result of the second qualifying round has to go to Bardon Hill, who produced a stunning upset to beat Uttoxeter Town and progress to the Buildbase FA Vase first round proper for the first time in five years.
Tom Duddy’s solitary strike secured the Leicestershire Senior League victory against their Midland League Division One opponents, and fueled dreams of another FA Vase journey to match the club’s run to the second round in 2012.
Westella & Willerby also earned a memorable victory as the Northern Counties East Division Two side thrashed Ollerton Town, who are a league above, 4-0, while local rivals 1874 Northwich and Congleton Town must play again after a tense draw.
As a reward for their excellent wins, Bardon Hill host Quorn in the first round proper and Westella & Willerby will play either Billingham Synthonia or Whitley Bay at home.
