Paul Marshall wants to see Tadcaster Albion handed a home draw in the FA Vase fifth round which will be announced at midday.

Tadcaster edged past Brocton after Calum Ward scored a second half winner in the 3-2 victory on Saturday to book their place.

It has taken Tad into the last 16 for only the second time in their long history.

Marshall, who believes his side could go all the way to the final at Wembley, said: “We have talked about it all season because I have said that this squad is strong enough to have a crack at the Vase.

“We are there (in the last 16) on merit. We’ve had some reasonable ties, we just need to get another home draw.

“If we get the home draw, we can beat anybody at home.”

Marshall has also paid tribute to the club’s supporters, who created a cauldron of noise during the Brocton win.

He added: “It is a great effort (from the supporters) and they keep saying that they are the twelfth man and they really are.

“Sometimes you have to play under the expectancy of a big crowd and it is difficult because other teams raise their game when they see 600 and odd people here.

“It was great to see a few old faces down and some of my old players from my Harrogate Railway days like Nige Danby, Steve Davy and Andy Sunley.

“There was lots of interest in the game and that’s what i2i Sports have generated in Tadcaster.

“The interest in Yorkshire is unbelievable.”
