Winning teams receive £900

Whitley go to Bedlington Terriers, finalists 15 years ago, while Shildon are at Colne from the North West Counties League.

Whitley and Shildon play in the Northern League’s Division One. A Division Two side, Seaham Red Star, rattled in 12 goals in their Second Round Qualifying tie at Esh Winning on Saturday, Sonny Andrews helping himself to eight. 

The Star have now been handed an away tie at Selby Town of the Northern Counties East League.

Tower Hamlets, the Essex Senior League side, play at the excellent Mile End Stadium in east London but must travel in The Vase to Oxhey Jets, the Spartan South Midlands League outfit from Hertfordshire. 

Two more Herts clubs, Berkhamsted and Kings Langley, meet at Broadwater. 

Wembley FC are still on the ‘Road to Wembley’, entertaining Bowers & Pitsea at Vale Farm, while Erith & Belvedere face a trip down to the Sussex coast to play Eastbourne Town.

Hellenic League Flackwell Heath, who face a tough FA Cup tie with Weston Super Mare on Saturday, are due to see some Vase action at Thatcham Town three weeks later.

All the First Round Proper winners will collect £900 from The FA’s prize fund.
