The Isuzu FA Vase

Buckland and Bromsgrove go through in The Vase

Thursday 27 Nov 2014
Buckland and Bromsgrove Sporting go through
Buckland Athletic came from behind with two second-half strikes to defeat Bristol Manor Farm 2-1 in their FA Vase Second Round meeting. 

The Western League Premier division rivals went head-to-head on Wednesday night, after the original game was postponed on Saturday, and a place in the next round against Bodmin Town was up for grabs. 

Manor Farm skipper Jordan Metters gave the visitors the lead after 31 minutes, slotting home following a short corner. And they stayed in front until the 62nd minute when a cracking effort from Gavin Hammon levelled the scores.

Second Round Proper
Wednesday 26 November
Winning clubs to receive £1,200 from The FA Prize Fund

The match seemed destined for extra-time until two minutes from the end when Shane Gill laid on a simple finish for Jordan Havlin to bag a late winner for the Devon side. 

Not only will they meet Bodmin next weekend, Buckland - as well as all the Second Round winners - also receive £1,200 from The FA's Prize Fund.

While two Vase games were postponed at Littlehampton Town and at AFC Darwen on Wednesday due to the wet conditions, Borrowash Victoria and Bromsgrove Sporting did get their tie wrapped up. 

After their initial game on Saturday was also off, East Midlands Counties League outfit Borrowash welcomed their Midland League Division One opponents. 

However, they would have been happy to see the back of them at the end of the night after the visitors ran away comfortable 5-0 winners. 

Sean Brain bagged a hat-trick after Reece Hewitt had opened the scoring. Danny Lennon also weighed in with one goal to secure a trip to face Thurnby Nirvana in the Third Round on Saturday 6 December.
