The twice-postponed Fourth Round Replay finally took place on Tuesday evening, and Aquaforce wasted no time in securing a home clash with Flackwell Heath.
Shaw Lane Aquaforce 4-1 Walsall Wood
FA Vase
Fourth Round Proper
Tuesday 27 January
The Barnsley-based side were without regulars Gary Stohrer and Steve Istead through suspension, but Joe Thornton stepped up to star in Wood’s downfall.
The attacker provided an assist for Matt Thornhill to open the scoring, then on 36 minutes he added his own name to the scoresheet.
Andrew Fox then rifled in a long-ranger almost immediately after the half-time break, and the visitors' misery was completed when Sam Denton headed a fourth from a corner.
Wood did pull a consolation back late on through Lewis Taylor-Boyce, but it was Aquaforce who march on to face Flackwell a week on Saturday.
