FA Vase Second Round Proper FC Clacton Vs St Ives Town FCThe long awaited FA Vase tie on the coast is finally here as the Saints take the two hour coach journey South to take on FC Clacton. The winner of this tie will go into the draw for Monday lunchtime and will also pocket £1,200 in prize money. In the event of a draw after 90 minutes then the replay is likely to be played here at Westwood Road on Tuesday evening next week. There has been much talk over the last 24/48 hours as to whether or not the game will actually go ahead. Our advice is to log on to the website and see if there is any news of a cancellation. Otherwise please assume that the game is on !! Those who are travelling by coach need to be reminded to arrive on time to prevent any unavoidable delay.

They are a very good side, riding high in their league, scoring lots of goals and conceding very few. However, we are a good side on a great run of form, we are very hard to beat, and are now scoring plenty of goals, so the lads will go into the game full of confidence. Theres something about the Vase that the lads (and Woz) love, so we are expecting the type of performance that saw us win at Stanway, Kirkley, Romford. Gorleston, Leiston and Long Buckby over the past two seasons. Most of the those performances we have shown great character and a will to win, in tight games. If this is evident tomorrow, im sure we will win the game, anything less and it will be tough. We would like to thank Simon Clark, Neville and Sheldon for already making the trip to Clacton, and compiling useful information on our opponents. Hopefully, this will help us in to the hat, for Mondays draw.
We are hearing how many people are going out of the way, tomorrow to support us, and we thank you for that. I hope we are all celebrating tomorrow night." Jez |
