FA Vase fifth round draw: Whitstable Town v Cockfosters, Punjab United v Windsor & Eton or Fisher

The draw has been made for the fifth round of the FA Vase.

Teams are now just three ties away from a Wembley final with holders Whitstable Town still hoping to retain the trophy.

The Oystermen, who won 4-1 at Harpenden Town in the last 32 on Saturday, have been handed a home tie against Cockfosters.

The visitors currently sit fourth in the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division, three points off top spot with four defeats in 21 league games.

Fellow Southern Counties East League sides Punjab United and Fisher were also in the draw - and they could meet each other in the last 16.

Fisher started in the first qualifying round and have won two penalty shoot-outs so far. Their trip to Windsor & Eton was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch last weekend with the teams set to try again this Saturday.

The winners will make the trip to Punjab United, who won 2-0 at Benfleet last Saturday in round four.

It’s a best-ever FA Vase run for both Punjab and Fisher while Windsor & Eton could now meet four Southern Counties East sides in this season’s competition having already beaten Bearsted and Tunbridge Wells to get this far.

Ties are due to be played on Saturday, February 7 while winning teams will earn £2,250 in prize money with losing sides collecting £725.
