North Shields have managed to avoid an 800 mile round trip to Cornwall in the semi finals of the FA Vase.

Shields could have been drawn away to St Austell from Cornwall, but instead they have been handed the winners of the replay between Wiltshire based Highworth United from the Hellenic League or Tadcaster Albion in Yorkshire from the Northern Counties East League.

The first leg is due to be played on March 21st, with the second leg on March 28th.

North Shields assistant manager Andy Bowman said; "It's great to be away first and there's a good chance to watch both teams in the replay on Saturday."

The other semi final is between St Austell and the winners of the replay between Shaw Lane Aquaforce and Glossop North End.
