Emley AFC made it three wins in a week as they followed FA Cup success by advancing in the FA Vase competition with a convincing win over Sandbach United.

After winning 5-1 at Lower Breck in midweek following their reinstatement in the FA Cup it was a confident Pewits side that took to the Fantastic Media Welfare Stadium pitch for the Vase first qualifying tie.

And that confidence was fully justified as Ruben Jerome put Emley ahead after 11 minutes and Ross Hardaker doubled the advantage just seven minutes later.

Joe Kenny made it 3-0 three minutes into the second half and that was how it stayed to the finish with Emley now going on to an away tie at NCE Division One side Brigg Town in the second qualifying round on Saturday, September 23.
