FA VASE ROUND UP - 19/09/09

Josh Jones scored twice as Whitehawk bagged their place in the first round of the FA Vase.
The midfielder marked his return from six weeks out due to an ankle injury with a super display as Hawks won 3-1 at home to Lingfield.
Chris Hatt fired the visitors ahead on 19 minutes but Jones scored twice in three minutes before the end of the half and sub Ryan McBride rounded things off 15 minutes from time.
Joint boss Darren Freeman said: “At the start of the season we highlighted the Vase as a competition we wanted to do well it. We played really well, especially in the first half when we were different class.”
Hawks are now away to East Grintead on October 3 after the Wasps won 2-1 after extra time at Hartley Wintney.
Grinstead boss Steve Johnson was pleased with a strong finish as their fitness told. John Sinclair got the winner after Ben Burns had levelled in normal time while Simon Funnell missed a penalty for the Wasps.
Johnson said: “No one will give us a chance against Whitehawk except for us but we could have beaten them at our place and they won’t take us lightly.”
Ringmer booked a home tie with Crowborough after Craig Brown’s goal a minute from the end of extra time sealed a 3-2 win at Cove. The outstanding Kieran Patel sent Brown through for the winner, having earlier twice equalised himself.
Joint boss Bob Munnery said: “They were saying afterwards we had used a ‘Get out of jail free’ card but I thought we played some fantastic stuff.”
Joshua Clayman made it two goals in two games since his elevation from the reserves as Shoreham won a hard-fought match at Worthing United 2-1 to book a trip to Bedfont.
Lee Eastman gave the Musselmen the lead before Grant Phillpott levelled and then Clayman struck.
Shoreham co-boss Mark Burt said: “We’re back on the road again in the Vase and that’s what it is all about.”
Chichester boss Adie Girdler was disappointed after his side drew 4-4 after extra time after leading 2-0 and 3-1 against visitors South Park, who they play tomorrow in a replay.
He said: “We’re our own worst enemies and now we will have to go up there and finish the job.”
Jamie Ford was sent off for Chi for retaliation while James Archer, Jo Briggs, Adrian Brockway and Shawn Benjamin netted.
Peacehaven beat division three Saltdean 2-0 with no real alarms and will meet the winners of that replay. Carl Dunk missed a penalty to make it more comfortable.
Brett Forden’s free-kick after 16 minutes gave Pagham a 1-0 win over Frimley Green to set up a trip to Erith and Belvedere.
Redhill won 2-1 at Bookham after extra time with goals from Leon Dussard and Johnny Gallagher.
