Vase final date nears for Kirkham

Two stars of Kirkham & Wesham's FA Vase campaign had an early taste of Wembley after being invited to attend a media event at the world famous stadium.

Captain Dougie Shaw and striker Matt Walwyn toured facilities ahead of the final against Lowestoft Town on 11 May.

"We're classed underdogs as Lowestoft play at a higher level," said Shaw. "But there's nothing to be scared of."

Walwyn admitted he was inspired by his first view of Wembley. "The surface looked beautiful," he said."

He added: "It will be great to play on it, and it should suit our passing style."

The superstitious Shaw refused to be pictured touching the Vase trophy.

"I've never believed in holding a trophy I've not won," he said. "And I'm not going to start now. It's not in our possession yet, but hopefully it will be on May 11th."
