Long Eaton United will face Hellenic Football League Premier
Division side Westfields FC at Grange Park in the Buildbase FA Vase Fourth
Round Proper.
The Hellenic Football League side
overcame Nottinghamshire based step six side Radford FC in the previous round
of the Vase. Fields walked away from the HBW Arena as 5-0 victors, thanks to
goals from Sirdic Grant, Keanu Cooper, Henry Dyde, and a brace from Richard
Greaves. The Blues earned their spot in the Fourth Round Proper, after beating
Hanley Town 2-0 at the weekend. A poachers goal from Alex Marshall, and an
unbelievable byline half-volley from Jamie Walker, put the 2020 Blues squad in
the history books - taking Long Eaton into the Fourth Round of the FA Vase for
the first time in the clubs' history. Both sides have only ever met in the FA
Vase once before, back in 2004/05 when the Blues travelled to Herefordshire and
beat the Fields 2-1 to take them into the Second Round. The winner of this tie
will set a new record for the furthest point they have reached in this
competition. Grange Park is expected to play host to the cup tie on Saturday
9th January 2021 with a 3.00 pm kick-off.
