The four semi-finalists in this year's FA Vase are all appearing at this stage of the competition for the first time.
In fact, each and every one of

had only ever gone as far as the 5th Round before!
#FAVase
3rd Rd draw top-line facts.
13 Step 6 clubs - at least 2 guaranteed to be in R4.
27 clubs equalling/setting record run - at least 6 guaranteed record run in Rd 4.
Just 2 former winners.
8 ties with clubs from same division.
Just 5 pairs of clubs met before in Vase.
Congrats to
@RomfordFC

#FAVase
Final following a tense 10-9 penalty shoot-out win over Lincoln United after the two sides drew 0-0 in their Semi-Final 2nd leg (aggregate 2-2)

SF Stats
@RylandsFC
v
@WalsallWoodFC
Both clubs in SF for first time
Rylands are last club standing that started in earliest Q1 Rd
The Wood are competing in FA Vase for 32nd time
Goals scored so far:
Rylands 18 (8 games), Walsall Wood 8 (5)
#RYLWAL
Littlehampton Town have been re-instated in to the
#FAVase
and will host
@Brock_FC
in the 5th Rd
Athletic Newham have been found to have played an ineligible player
I saw
@WallingfordTown
win 1-0 vs
@NGUfootballclub
in
#FAVase
2nd Rd today.
The Step 6 side fully deserved their win over Step 5 high-flying opponents. Their defence, in particular, was immense - especially considering their opponents had won 6-0, 7-0 & 8-0 in recent games
Good luck to the players, coaches, physios, trainers, board members, volunteers and fans of the 16
#NonLeague
clubs participating in the 5th Rd of the
#FAVase
today.
Anyone else excited?
#FAVase
3rd Rd draw tie no. 2
@AbbeyHeyFC
v
@OfficialBuryAFC
First Vase meeting between these two clubs in a tie that not only guarantees one club in 4th Rd for first time ever, but also is the only tie to guarantee a step 6 club in the 4th Rd too
#FAVaseDraw
After today's
#FAVase
results all four semi-finalists have reached that stage of the competition for the very first time.
Obviously this means there will be a brand new name etched onto the Vase, and my favourite stat for the competition will be maintained for the 50th Final.
The
#FAVase
5th Rd draw takes place today some time after 3.15pm on Talk Sport.
As ever I will produce facts and stats for all known ties as soon as possible after the draw.
#FAVase
5th Rd draw Tie No. 1
@CoventrySphinx
v
@alportfc
Will be first ever Vase meeting.
A win for Alport would mean a first ever QF appearance.
A win for Sphinx would equal best run, achieved once before 14 years ago.
#FAVaseDraw
The
#FAVase
2nd Round draw is expected to be released around 1.0pm by
@FA
today.
126 clubs from the 1st Rd (includes 48 clubs still to play) will be joined by the final 26 exempted clubs to create 64 ties.
Is your club still involved?
#FAVase
5th Rd draw Tie No. 2
@NorthShieldsFC
v
@fcrugbytown
Will be first ever Vase meeting.
Last 2 remaining past winners go head to head.
Only time either side has ever gone beyond 5th Rd was when lifting Vase - North Shields in 2015, Rugby Town in 1983
#FAVaseDraw
My first
#FAVase
stat - and I think it's a cracker that sums it up!
Despite the
#FACup
being established more than 100 years before it, there have been more different clubs who've appeared in FA Vase Finals (71) than there have been clubs who've played in an FA Cup Final (57).
The full list of clubs who either set their best
#FAVase
run in 2019-20 season or at least equalled it.
Congratulations to all on a terrific FA Vase season

@nptfc
v
@HamworthyUtdFC
Both clubs appearing in their first FA Vase semi-final, both clubs posted their previous best Vase runs in last 5 seasons, and both clubs started in 2nd Qualifying Rd this season!
Many, many congratulations to
@HebburnTown

#FAVase
Final 3-2 against fellow

side
@ConsettAFC
in a match that showed us how football ought to be played - two teams with attacking intent, refereed by on-field officials.
Perfect

football
It's
#FAVase
5th Rd day today where history will definitely be made at seven of the eight ties, with the winning club in those ties either equalling or setting their best ever FA Vase run.
The same could happen in the 8th tie, too, if
@JerseyBullsFC
can win at holders

Today's
#FAVase
stat
In every single one of the 45 FA Vase Finals so far there was at least one club who were appearing in the Final for the first ever time ...
And the same will be true for this year's 46th Final as all four semi-finalists are yet to appear in a Vase Final.
I enjoyed my visit to sunny Rookery Hill today for the
#FAVase
Semi-Final 1st Leg tie between
@RomfordFC
&
@LincolnUnited
which ended two apiece.
A memorable day for what was my 250th different ground!
Congrats to
@nptfc
@HamworthyUtdFC
@lborofootball
&
@LittlehamptonFC
on reaching
#FAVase
semi-finals today - there will be a new name on the Vase & for the 48th time in 48 Vase competitions there will be at least one club playing in a Vase Final for the first time (two this year)
@BilstonTownFC
Congrats on your 7-4
#FAVase
win today, only the 5th time such a scoreline has happened in the Vase, and the first time where the away side won
#HistoryMakers
#FAVase
5th Rd draw
@JerseyBullsFC
vs
@Falmouth_Town
A win for Jersey Bulls would set a new club best record Vase run.
Falmouth Town last went beyond 5th Rd in the club's debt Vase campaign 37 years ago.
Congrats to all eight
#NonLeague
clubs that made it through to the
#FAVase
Quarter Finals - today's results mean at least three semi-finalists will be first timers in the last four, and at least one Finalist will be there for the first time, keeping up the competition's tradition
What a great
#FAVase
competition it has been during 2020/21 season culminating in a terrific Final won 3-2 by Warrington Rylands.
It has been the first season when this
@FAVaseFactfile
account has been running and I would welcome feedback as to what you think about its coverage!
Both of the 2021
#FAVase
Finalists -
@Binfieldfc
and
@RylandsFC
- have been promoted to Step 4 for the 2021/22 season so will be participating in FA Trophy next year instead.
Congratulations to both clubs on their respective promotions.
