S8 Ep25: 09th February 2024 - FA Trophy / FA Vase 5th Rd & Falmouth Town

The Non League Football Show

We’ve reached round 5 in both the FA Trophy and the FA Vase. 16 clubs left in each competition 8 ties apiece to get through, with the weather looking to play a hand in that.
In the Trophy those from outside the top tier have their sights set on a Wembley final they may not have expected, whilst there are still some looking to battle on more than one front this season.
But our focus this week is the FA Vase. @FAVaseFactfile Mr Phil Annets is on hand to give us oversight of all the clubs and the ties in this round. We then get a rare treat. Chairman at Falmouth Town of the Western League Graham Medlin doesn’t do many interviews. He’s happier ensuring his club continues to survive and indeed thrive with sights even this year set on promotion to the Southern League. His side face one of their biggest ever games with a trip to Jersey Bulls in the FA Vase final 16 this weekend and it’s clear he’s pretty proud of the sa,e.
Rounding up the week’s news including and what’s coming up in the wekeend’s paper Editor at Large at The Non League Paper Matt Badcock is on hand with his own expert insight.
