Introduction


Welcome to the blog that records a personal journey through the football season from a North East perspective.

For 2017-18 A Good Cup Run will not restrict itself to cup games. Although priority will be given to Cup, Vase and Trophy ties, some more workaday matches from the Northern League, the Northern Premier League, and the National League North may be covered.

FA Vase 3rd Round

UPDATE

With Shildon drawn away to West Auckland’s conquerors Shaw Lane Aquaforce (who play in Barnsley) a trip to Consett was on the cards to see if Marske United could progress. However an opportunity to visit the Etihad to see Man City intervened, which meant Marske’s 3-2 defeat goes unreported in detail.

Shildon’s tie was postponed (twice) due to problems with the pitch (too much aqua?) but eventually took place at Oakwell (Barnsley’s ground), resulting in a 3-2 defeat, and an early end to local interest in the Vase this year.

Three other Northern League teams are through to Round Four (last 32), with two playing each other (North Shields v Consett) while recent winners Dunston UTS are away at Heanor Town.



FA Vase state of play: 13 out.
