MATCH PREVIEW – GREAT WAKERING ROVERS v FALMOUTH TOWN
GREAT WAKERING ROVERS v FALMOUTH TOWN
Falmouth Town will be travelling to deepest Essex when we visit Great Wakering Rovers for our Quarter Final match in the Isuzu FA Vase on Saturday, March 9th, 2024 – K.O. 3:00pm. We will go into this Quarter Final on the back of recent 2-0 win over Buckland Athletic on Tuesday, February 27th and 3-1 away victory over Torpoint Athletic on Tuesday, February 20th. Our journey to this point in the Isuzu FA Vase, has seen us with wins over
Honiton Town (H) 6-0
Crediton United (H) 3-1
Fareham Town (A) 1-0
Moneyfields (H) 3-0
Barnstaple Town (A) 2-1
Hartpury University (H) 2-0
Jersey Bulls (A) 3-0
Although Great Wakering Rovers’ recent results in the Essex Senior League have included a 3-0 win over Buckhurst Hill (February 20th) and a 1-0 defeat to top of the league Tilbury (February 27th), their FA Vase journey has been equally impressive with wins over
Basildon Town (A) 5-2
Buckhurst Hill (H) 4-3
St Neots Town (A) 2-2 (4-2 on pens)
Downham Town (H) 2-0
Fakenham Town (A) 3-0
Whitchurch Alport (A) 2-1
Highworth Town (A) 3-2
We are currently third in the Western League Premier Division, while Great Wakering Rovers are ninth in the Essex Senior League. Great Wakering Rovers have played in both the Southern League and the Isthmian League (Step 4), so we can expect a very competitive game. We last reached the Quarter Finals in the 1986/87 FA Vase when we lost in a replay 1-0 at St Helens. Great Wakering Rovers have reached the FA Vase Quarter Finals twice, losing to both Potters Bar Town 1-0 in 1997/98 and AFC Sudbury in 2001/02.

FA VASE TRIP TO GREAT WAKERING ROVERS
There will be a supporters coach going to Great Wakering for Town’s FA Vase Quarter Final match on Saturday, March 9th, 2024.
The details are as follows:
Saturday, March 9th, 2024. Playing Great Wakering Rovers at Burroughs Park, Great Wakering, Southend-on-Sea, SS3 0HQ.

We have a supporters coach booked to leave at 5:00am sharp, so we will arrive in Southend-on-Sea around midday (ish).
We will be setiing up our base camp at the The Exhibition Inn, which is about 0.3 miles from the stadium, meaning we can do a full march, with flags, drums, banners, etc. Marching in will give us a distinct advantage and will set the scene, just like it did in Jersey. The Exhibition Inn is perfect with a Beer Garden, a big car park, and is only a short walk to the ground.
Jon Perrow has spoken with them and they will be open from 11:00am for the people already up there. They have very knidly given us a meal deal of ‘any meal in a basket and a pint’ for £10!
The coach will depart from the ground at 6:30pm, us onne and a half hours to hopefully celebrate with the players after the match, as only we do!
The coach fare is £55 per person and will need to be to be paid for in advance, ideally by bank transfer. To book, please call, text, or WhatsApp Jon Perrow on 07779232854, or contact him via Facebook. Hurry, because seats are selling very fast!
