​The Second Round of the FA Vase is almost upon us, so here at BotP we have put together our guide to the competition so far. All the teams and all the statistics you need.

128 teams remain in the competition, 90 from Step 5, 35 from Step 6, and 3 Step 7 sides, Blidworth Welfare, Hucknall Town and Saffron Dynamo.
Interestingly, all three of the remaining Step 7 sides are based in the East Midlands area, two playing in the Central Midlands League South and one in the Leicestershire Senior League. All three have received tough away fixtures at Step 5 sides, Shepshed Dynamo, Sporting Khalsa and Leciester Nirvana respectively.

Two previous winners are still in there, Dunston UTS and Sholing. There are also four previous finalists still battling it out, West Auckland, Bedlington Terriers, Southall and last season's beaten finalists, Stockton Town.

The Northern League, where eight of the last ten winners have come from is still well represented this season with eight teams from Division One and one from Division Two still in the hat. However, it is the Midland League that has the largest number of teams left in the competition with 13 from the Premier Division and 5 more from Division One.

​Eight 'Vase Virgins' are still pursuing their dreams. May & Baker Eastbrook Community, Thame Rangers, NKF Burbage, Wolverhampton Sporting Community, Avro, Garstang, Barton Town and Ilkeston Town.
At least one of these teams will make it through to the Third Round, as Wolverhampton Sports have been drawn at home to Ilkeston Town. Of the other six teams, only Thame Rangers and NKF Burbage will have to travel, to Newport Pagnell Town and Stourport respectively.

Nineteen teams in the draw have already surpassed their best Vase efforts (not including newcomers). Whilst there are eleven teams who have matched their best run and will be trying to set new club records by progressing to Round Three.

It's not going to be easy as there is still plenty of FA Vase experience left in the competition apart from the two past winners and four finalists. Sixteen former Quarter-Finalists and seven who have made it into the last four are still in the hat, including last season's beaten semi-finalists 1874 Northwich.

There are 64 cracking ties to choose from, all listed below.
