Long Eaton United will face North West Counties Football League side Hanley Town at Grange Park in the Buildbase FA Vase Third Round Proper.
The FA Vase Third Round Proper draw took place earlier today,
and the Blues have been drawn away against fellow step five side Hanley Town.
The NWCFL Premier Division side currently sit third on 11 points, with seven
games played. However, the Blues also sit third in the MFL Premier Division
with eight-games played, unbeaten, and on 22 points. Hanley faced off against
United Counties League Premier Division side Loughborough University FC on
Saturday 5th December in the Second Round Proper at Potteries Park. The hosts
walked away with a 2-1 victory, thanks to a first-half header from Kie Brown
and a fantastic last-minute strike from Brian Barton. The Blues earned their
spot in the Third Round Proper after beating Stone Old Alleynians 3-2 at the
weekend. Danny Gordon's half-volley and Alex Marshall's brace helped guide Long
Eaton through to the next round. This will be the first meeting between both
sides, and whichever side is victorious will reach the Fourth Round Proper of
the Buildbase FA Vase for the first time ever. Grange Park is expected to play
host to the cup tie on Saturday 19th December with a 3.00 pm kick-off. More
details will be released closer to the time, in regards to fans or any other
important changes.
