And he got Man of The Match as well. Kept 2 very lively, young attackers at bay. Well done Chris and Morpeth Town, my nephew Mark Grant used to play for them so bit biased.
Fantastic achievement, was fearing the worst for them especially when Hereford scored after 2 minutes, but fair play to them for coming back and winning 4-1. Stuff of fairy tales.
That's now 7 teams from the North East in the last 8 years who have won the FA Vase.. Well done Northern League.
2008-09 Whitley Bay v Glossop North End 2-0 2009-10 Whitley Bay v Wroxham 6-1 2010-11 Whitley Bay v Coalville Town 3-2 2011-12 Dunston U T S v West Auckland Town 2-0 2012-13 Spennmoor Town v Tunbridge Wells 2-1 2013-14 Sholing v West Auckland Town 1-0 2014-15 North Shields v Glossop North End 2-1 And then add Morpeth Town. Pretty impressive for North-East non league football.
