Bishops ran out comfortable winners on a an absolute bog of a pitch. Played the conditions expertly and Henderson's two goals in the first half set up a pretty uneventful second half where he completed his hat trick to give the scoreline some gloss.
Rio may was outstanding in a midfield role with x2 lads alongside him who played due to injuries to Gott and Bartliff. Catterick dealt with the little he had to do well enough.
Home draw please in Round 3.

Much tougher test on paper for Bishops. Blyth with home advantage and fighting with Newcastle Blue Star at the top of Division Two.

Good team are Blyth, but Bishops must be favourites I’m sure promotion is the priority for Bishop Auckland. I’m sure they would love to go far in the Vase, especially with their great Amateur Cup history. But I’m sure there’s some wary Bishop fans who’ve wanted to leave the league for over a decade. |

Windy, from a personal point of view it has to be the league and promotion, 100%. I see the FA Vase and any other cup competition as a bonus, and not a bad situation to have on our hands! |

I see the FA Vase and any other cup competition as a bonus, and not a bad situation to have on our hands! The only issue is that your direct rivals for the automatic promotion spot. Can concentrate on one serious competition and rest crucial players when they have cup competitions. A serious run in the Vase will take it out of the best players and there’s more chance of injuries and suspensions. Because the Vase can’t be taken lightly. If you make the semis or better, you will have to go through the stress and getting up for the big games & also try and do it in the league. If you miss out on automatic promotion by a point, you’ll then have to go through the lottery of the playoffs. Where the opposition will know that your heads might be elsewhere(disappointment for missing out and potentially a massive Vase game around the corner). |

Agree with all of that Windy, it is definately something I have in the back of my mind. What will be will be - what's to say we don't have enough quality and mental strength to achieve both.....we shall wait and see.

Speaking for many Bishop's supporters, give me promotion over a Wembley appearance any day. We have the capabilities to do both as we have built a very good squad of players and nobody yet knows what our best team is. You just need to look at the strength of our subs bench last Saturday despite the injuries.
This is by far the best Bishop's team I have seen for many a year.

In both and go for both, pick up more players as we go, only on the pitch will determine both.

Nothing can beat winning the Vase at Wembley If that's your preference then fine....however if someone offered me win fa Vase and don't get promoted or don't win the fa Vase and get promoted I would not hesitate to pick the latter. |

No mentions about the leagues only unbeaten team ,Shildon. They and their fans just quietly going about their business. Having already been promoted they will know all about what’s needed. Bishop are the best team we have faced this season really looking forward to our visit in a few weeks to Shildon as not played them yet. From what I’ve heard from other clubs who have they will take some beating .

From what I’ve heard from other clubs who have they will take some beating . Must admit, Shildon have suprised me with their long unbeaten start. Thought they might of fared similar to N Shields and West Auckland with mixed form. Shildon v Bishops' on Boxing Day..... |
