FA Vase first qualifying round and second qualifying round draw 2020/21

FA Vase #FAVase

The draws for the first two rounds of this season’s FA Vase have been made – even though last season’s competition has still not been completed.

Corinthian were due to face Northern League Hebburn Town over two legs in March for a place in the 2020 final before the Covid-19 crisis led to the tie being postponed. Consett were set to face Bitton AFC in the other tie.

The FA still hope to play those matches, although the semi-finals could be over one leg.

Those clubs involved will receive byes until the latter rounds in 2020/21 so do not feature in the latest draws released by the FA.

There are plenty of all-Southern Counties East League ties in the First Qualifying Round this season.

Among the pick of the ties are K Sports hosting Tunbridge Wells and Bearsted’s trip to Punjab United.

Prize money in the First Qualifying Round is £550 for winners and £160 for losing sides. Those numbers increase to £725 and £225 for the Second Qualifying Round.
