Sixteen clubs will be starting to dream of a trip to Wembley when the FA Vase Fifth Round takes place on Saturday.

But for Paul Marshall's Tadcaster Albion, who play AFC Mansfield, the chance to rewrite history is their sole priority before they can fantasise over a date at the national stadium in May.

Fifth Round Proper

Winning sides receive £2,500

Victory over Brocton in the previous round secured the north Yorkshire side's place in the last 16 of the competition for just the second time.

Marshall, who guided Harrogate to an FA Cup Second Round tie against Bristol City in 2002, is determined to combine cup success with their bid to win promotion to the Evo Stik Division One North when they travel to Mansfield's on Saturday.

"It's a great opportunity for us," Marshall told TheFA.com. "We want to create a record by becoming the first team to reach the last eight in the club's history.

"We had 637 attend the win against Brocton in the last round which was our biggest gate of the season. It was a really tough game and they made it an uncomfortable afternoon for us but we managed to scrape through.

"I went to watch AFC Mansfield last week. They're a strong team and have signed two players in the last week. I'm sure they've strengthened their squad with this game in mind."
