The FA Carlsberg Vase Sixth Round draw

Monday 17 Feb 2014
The FA Vase is at the Sixth Round stage

The draw for the Sixth Round Proper of The FA Carlsberg Vase was made at Wembley today.

This is the quarter-final stage of a competition now in its 40th season.

Only two Fifth Round Proper ties survived the continuing bad weather on Saturday.

Ampthill Town were losing 1-0 with just four minutes to go at home to fellow Spartan South Midlands League side Hanwell Town but fought back to win 3-1 after extra time and earn their first-ever place in The Vase’s last eight.

The Bedfordshire club have now been handed an away draw at the winners of next Saturday’s rearranged tie on the south coast between Eastbourne United and Morpeth Town.

Wisbech Town reached the quarter finals for the first time since 1986 with a 2-1 victory at Hadleigh United, Tom James scoring the winner with a penalty eight minutes from time.

Wisbech from the United Counties League must travel to Sholing or Larkhall Athletic.

If Northern League pair Dunston UTS and West Auckland Town are successful in their Fifth Round ties, they will face each other in a repeat of the Wembley Final of 2012.

The scheduled date for the Sixth Round is 8 March, with the winners each picking up £4,500 from The FA’s prize fund.

2 Eastbourne United or Morpeth Town v Ampthill Town
