We’re up for the cup

ON SATURDAY, Binfield have the biggest game in the club’s history as they face Warrington Rylands in the FA Vase final at Wembley Stadium (12.15pm kick-off).

Under the famous arch of Wembley, the two sides will contest the 47th Vase final which will also be broadcast live on BT Sport.

The Moles’ opponents currently compete in the North West

Counties League Premier Division but will be promoted to step 4 to play in the Northern Premier

League West Division as of next season as part of the FA restructure.

Rylands were in second place in their league having won four out of their five fixtures before the season was halted.

They were just three points off top spot having played three games less than the side above them, and also boasting an unbeaten record with just two points dropped.

Binfield have also been promoted to step 4 and enjoyed great success in their final two seasons in the Hellenic Premier Division despite both of the previous season’s being curtailed due to the pandemic.

Like Saturday’s opponents, Binfield were also in second place when their league season was abandoned.

Carl Withers and Jamie McClurg’s team had won five of their seven games and drawn two to put them just one point off the top.

The team had also been in fine form in the 2019/20 and firmly in the hunt for promotion having been second in the Hellenic Premier Division when the season was stopped.

The Moles have now won promotion via the FA restructure and are now looking to add silverware to their list of achievements.
