This weekend saw the first club confirm their place in the 20/21 FA Vase Final due at Wembley with the other tie yet to be played out.
Originally scheduled for the 27th of March 2021, the semi finals were postponed due to the Covid pandemic. On the 11th of March 2021, it was announced that the ties would take place on the 8th of May 2021.
Binfield of the Hellenic League Premier Division took on Wessex League Division One outfit United Services Portsmouth.
Fair to say it was tense throughout the tie, with it having to be sorted with penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes.
The opening goal came 20 minutes in, James Franklyn beat the offside trap, turned in the box and slotted the ball home.
10 minutes before the end, Liam Ferdinand took it round Price and levelled the scoreline, so down to spot kicks it was to settle it, and no doubt the biggest moment of both club’s history knowing the winners would be in a national final held at a national stadium.
HOW THE PENALTIES PLAYED OUT:
US Portsmouth – SCORED – 1-0
Binfield – SCORED – 1-1
US Portsmouth – SCORED – 2-1
Binfield – SCORED – 2-2
US Portsmouth – SCORED – 3-2
Binfield – MISSED – 3-2

Meanwhile, they will find out their winners once the second semi final tie takes place on the 15th of May.
This game wasn’t played on Saturday because Hebburn Town were involved in last year’s final (which they won), meaning they couldn’t play their quarter final tie for this year’s competition.
Hebburn Town of the Northern League Division One went into the game knowing that they could potentially face being in the tournament’s final for a second time in the same month.
They faced North West Counties League Premier Division club Warrington Rylands, who themselves have impressed many these last few seasons.
Just the one goal was scored in this encounter, and it was down to Elliot Nevitt with great control, hammering the ball into the corner on the 62nd minute at Gorsey Lane.
It was enough to knock out the short lived cup holders, and now Warrington will face Walsall Wood of the Midland League Premier Division in the FA Vase semi final next week.
