No problems at Hebburn Town's quaint Energy Check Sports Ground, clearly Plymouth Parkway will already be on the road if the Devon Club didn't push the boat out and travel up last night to stay in the North East:

A Non League paper preview on the Wroxham v Bitton tie which fortunately goes ahead following the early morning pitch inspection at the Yachtsmen's Trafford Park. Regular Bitton goalkeeper Rob Brown will be suspended this afternoon so thirty year old supremo Dan Langdon is forced to go between the sticks, his Father John is Chairman of the ToolStation Western League Premier Division outfit and his Mother Secretary: https://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/latest-news/fa-competitions-more-news/29415/fa-vase-last-eight-countdown-manager-must-step-in-between-the-sticks/?utm_medium=onesignal&utm_source=push_notifications&utm_campaign=web_push

According to the Corinthian Twitter page, and worryingly, a pitch inspection may be required but nothing confirmed as yet, of the three other Sixth Round ties, Atherstone Town v Consett is already off and they try again next Saturday, Hebburn Town v Plymouth Parkway seems fine: Please keep an eye out for news on a potential pitch inspection in the morning. Nothing confirmed yet. Corinthian v Leighton Town Wroxham v Bitton (pitch inspection 8.00am) Atherstone Town P Consett Hebburn Town v Plymouth Parkway

Eynesbury Rovers v St Ives Town re-arranged for Tuesday 17 March:

Yes, both ties at Sarratt and Bovingdon sadly off tomorrow: Quarter Final draw (ties due to be played on Sat 29 Feb) Sarratt P Hilltop Buckhurst Hill v Rayleigh Town (at Roding Valley School, Loughton (3G), kick off 2.00pm) Bovingdon P Letchworth Garden City Eagles Sandridge Rovers v Hutton

We're nearly there:

A nice article on Corinthian FC in the on-line Non League paper https://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/latest-news/fa-competitions-more-news/29402/fa-vase-last-eight-countdown-corinthian-spirit-motivating-amateurs/?utm_medium=onesignal&utm_source=push_notifications&utm_campaign=web_push

I hadn't realised the weather was so bad back home, it's balmy here in Denmark, at least the big one is still on: Saturday 29 February – (kick Off 3.00pm unless stated) Buildbase FA Vase Quarter Final Corinthian v Leighton Town Premier Division Baldock Town P Broadfields United Biggleswade United P Arlesey Town Dunstable Town P Colney Heath Eynesbury Rovers v Wembley Harefield United v Tring Athletic Harpenden Town P London Colney Leverstock Green P Aylesbury Vale Dynamos North Greenford United P Newport Pagnell Town Division One Amersham Town P London Lions Buckingham Athletic P Langford Milton Keynes Robins FC P Hillingdon Borough Park View v Ampthill Town Rayners Lane v FC Broxbourne Borough Shefford Town & Campton P Stotfold St Panteleimon v Winslow United (at Rectory Park) Division Two Buckingham United P Berkhamsted Raiders MK Gallacticos P Tring Corinthians AFC Mursley United P Aston Clinton New Bradwell St Peter P Unite MK Division Two Cup Semi Final Totternhoe P Pitstone & Ivinghoe Anagram Records Trophy Quarter Finals Bovingdon P Letchworth Garden City Eagles Sarratt P Hilltop

Apparently this is the best route to take tomorrow if driving, Leighton Town were certainly lucky with the draw from a travelling perspective as they could have easily drawn Hebburn Town or Consett away

I believe this is an update on the projections for next season: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mmUMBlqSylxdNrvwbXnUljQoWmjw5J0RNRUTgVhKYTo/edit#gid=0

I'm just wondering when beleaguered Ash Fuller, Dean Greygoose and Steve Kuhne are likely to get their first win at Hall Road, I really thought it would come last Saturday against lowly London Colney however the Cotlandswick Club somehow managed to equalise very late on with the Referee checking his watch. It is now seven games without a win for Eynesbury Rovers including the home FA Vase Fourth Round defeat to Leighton Town straight after which Mark Ducket defected to The Eyrie, however it has to be said that Fuller, Greygoose and Kuhne have been very unlucky in five of their six games at the helm and they gave league leaders Colney Heath a real fright when taking the lead at Hall Road, only going down 2-1 with a goal ten minutes from time.
