Frickley are also in the NCEL Premier Division where they sit in 6th place after 9 games. They reached this stage of the competition with a 2-1 win over Irlam.

Emley required penalty shoot-outs to overcome two high-flying opponents from the North West Counties Premier Division to book their place in the 1st round proper. Vauxhall Motors followed Avro out of the Vase at the hands of the Pewits on Saturday.

The teams have never played each other in the FA Vase but did meet in the FA Trophy in 1999-2000 where the Pewits triumphed 2-1 at the Welfare Ground.

Ironically, the two teams were due to face each other in the league over this weekend but the FA Vase version of the fixture takes precedence with a new date for the league game to be confirmed in due course.
