A little more information on our next opponents below from Archie MacKay

The Northern Counties East Premier League side have dispatched the leaders of both the North West Counties Premier League and the Northern League in the previous two rounds of the competition and will be brimming with confidence that they can complete a giant-killing treble when the favourites for the competition come to town on 6th December.

The Barnsley based club, formed in 2012 as an amalgamation of three local clubs, currently sit second in their division, some way behind runaway leaders Tadcaster Albion.

While the club traces its roots back to the formation of an under 11 side in 1991, Shaw Lane have had somewhat of a meteoric rise in recent years, moving through the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League Division One after its first merger in 2011 before winning the Premier Division after its second merger in 2012 and gaining promotion to the Northern Counties East League (NCEL) Division One. A year later their meteoric rise continued when they finished runners-up in the NCEL Division One, winning promotion to the Premier Division.

Now their rise continues with major scalps in the FA Vase and if Shildon are to continue their quest to win the competition and merit their selection as bookie’s favourites, they will have to travel to the Shaw Lane ground and overcome the side whose name is on everyone’s lips at the moment.

 

FA Vase 2nd Round Result

The draw for the next round will be at lunch time on Monday.

FA Vase – Preview

by Archie MacKay

After the disappointment of Wednesday night’s FA Cup exit, Shildon re-join the road to Wembley on Saturday with an FA Vase away day at Colne FC of the North West Counties Football League Premier Division.

The Railwaymen’s opponents sit mid table in their division but have won their last three matches in a row, all away from home: two in the league and one in the cup, including a 5-1 win over fourth placed AFC Liverpool.

Less than 20 years old, the Reds, as they are nicknamed, were established in 1996 and play at the Holt House Stadium in Colne, Lancashire, a ground previously used by Colne Dynamoes who progressed to the highest levels of non-league football before folding in 1990.

The club’s largest home attendance of 1,742 came in an FA Vase Semi-final replay against AFC Sudbury in 2004 which the Reds lost 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the match. The club’s average attendance last season was 95.

So far this season the club has progressed through the qualifying rounds by defeating two Northern League sides in Penrith and Heaton Stannington, so the Railwaymen, who are joint favourites in the tournament, will need to be on form to ensure they are not the Lancashire side’s third Northern League scalp this season.

While Shildon will still be hurting from Wednesday’s FA Cup loss, Colne will know that the Railwaymen will want to take their frustrations out on the NWC side, and Shildon will be in no mood for an early exit from the competition. Billy Greulich-Smith remains a doubt for the game, but otherwise, Shildon should have a full compliment to choose from.

The match kicks off at the Holt House Stadium at 3pm and there are some places remaining on the supporters bus for anyone wishing to travel. The coach leaves the car park behind the George pub at 9.30am on Saturday. To enquire about seats, call 07784 975451.
