FA Vase Fifth Round draw: Bridgwater United v Deal Town, Jersey Bulls v Falmouth Town, Hilltop v Romford

The draw has been made for the Fifth Round of the FA Vase.

Deal Town, the only Southern Counties East League side remaining in the competition, have been given an away draw.

Steve King’s men will face Bridgwater United in the last 16 next month.

Bridgwater United sit third in the Western League Premier Division with 43 points from 20 games. They knocked out much-fancied Farnham Town in the Fourth Round.

It’s the third season in a row Bridgwater United will face Southern Counties East opponents in the FA Vase, having lost on penalties to Tunbridge Wells in 2021/22. They then beat Erith Town on spot-kicks last season.

Deal, who won the competition under Tommy Sampson in 2000, are now just three rounds away from reaching a Wembley final.

They progressed through round four on Saturday with a 2-0 home win over Cobham.

Ties are due to be played on Saturday, February 10 with winning teams earning £2,250 in prize money while losing sides collect £725.
