It’s Garstang in the Buildbase FA Vase

Submitted by Tim Robinson on Monday, 15 October 2018

We have drawn Garstang away in the Second Round of the Buildbase FA Vase. The tie will be played on Saturday, 3 November. Garstang play in Division One North (Level 10 / Step 6, equivalent to Northern League Division 2) of the Hallmark Security League, aka the North West Counties Football League, 

In the first round, the Lancashire club - situated about half way between Lancaster and Preston - beat Sheffield based Swallowsnest 4-3 on penalties after the match finished 1-1.

RCA's Assistant Manager, Gary Errington, looks forward to the Bridlington match.

Here we are again and another Wembley dream starts for us at RCA. The FA Vase always brings great anticipation to the club and to the Northern League in general with the success of recent years. Today we welcome our visitors Bridlington to Meadow Park. We know they are going to be a very tough test for us today.

The past few weeks have been have been a mixed bag for us where results are concerned. Losing a Ryhope derby was tough for us as it means so much to the boys and then another defeat to Shildon three days later put us in a situation where the next game was a must win for us. The leaders and great characters in the dressing room made sure that happened which then continued into the following game against a good Bishop Auckland side. These two victories set us up nicely for today’s game.

The squad has a great togetherness and the dressing room is a good place to be with competition all over for the starting 11, which should stand us in good stead for what we want to achieve. But as the saying goes “one game at a time."

Hopefully we can give the RCA faithful something to cheer about today with a good performance and us in the hat for the Second Round draw. I can promise everyone will give their all as anything else isn’t tolerated.

Cheers

Gee

That’s easy. Playing against Ajax in a pre season tour of Holland for Middlesbrough U18s, which we won 2-1!!

5 - Best goal:
I don’t score many so this should be easy! I enjoyed the free kick against South Shields, but for me it was the last minute free kick against Leeds for Middlesbrough that we won 1-0!

With: will have to be Jonathan Woodgate - great player to play along side. And against is Ruben Loftus-Cheek - unbelievable talent for his age.

Best is Larks: treats every training session like a match! Worst has be Adzey; he’s gifted technically, but doesn’t want to move in training.
