Preview – Brackley Town – Sat 24 Mar – KO 15:00

We welcome Brackley Town to The Vale for our Semi-Final 2nd Leg tie in the Buildbase FA Trophy this Saturday (24 Mar), kick-off 15:00.

After the first leg last Saturday played out in freezing  conditions on a heavy pitch the sides meet again to see who can secure a place in the Wembley Final on Sunday 20 May where the opponents  will be either Gateshead or Bromley.

It is all to play for on Saturday with the Stones trailing 1-0 from the first leg game so get behind the lads from the off,  make plenty of noise and offer encouragement throughout and roar the ‘ boys’  on to victory……
