FA Vase Winners: 2002, 2009, 2010, 2011 WHITLEY BAY FC BW3 Welcome to Hillheads WHITLEY BAY v MARSKE UNITED FA CUP with BUDWEISER PRELIMINARY ROUND Saturday 3rd September 2011
Good afternoon and welcome to Hillheads Park for today’s ‘FA Cup with Budweiser’ Preliminary Round game against Marske United. I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all players, officials and supporters of Marske and I hope they enjoy their afternoon with us. This is the second game in a week between our two sides and while we would be delighted to repeat last Saturday’s league result, I am s ure that Marske will have other ideas. There will certainly be no room for complacency today as we battle for a place in the First Qualifying Round of the most famous of all cup competitions. Today’s winners face a trip to Evo-Stik Premier Division side Kendal in two weeks time and the chance to test themselves against higher status opposition. Should today’s game end in a draw, the replay will take place Marske at next Tuesday evening. However, if there is a winner today, we will be making the much shorter journey across the Tyne on Tuesday to face South Shields in a Northern League game, assuming that The Mariners do not have a Cup replay. Our next game here at Hillheads will be on Tuesday 13th September when Shildon are the visitors. Attendances continue to rise at Hillheads and so far this se ason, gates have been close to 500, making us one of the best supported non league teams in the region. To those of you visiting Hillheads for the first time today we offer a warm welcome and hope you enjoy the day. We look forward to seeing you again soon. It was good to hear that our former striker Christie Elliott scored again for Partick Thistle on Saturday. He got the winner against Queen of the South, his second goal in his two games since joining the Scottish First Division side. Tomorrow the Club is holding a family fun day at Hillheads, to which all supporters and friends are very welcome. The entertainment begins at midday. Paul McIlduff Chairman HOWAY THE BAY!

With regular WHITLEY BAY 4 penalty taker Lee Kerr on the bench, Robbie Dale stepped up to take the kick but struck the ball too close to the MARSKE UNITED 0 keeper, who blocked the shot. However, Paul Chow was quick to react as the ball ran loose and he calmly side Saturday 27th August stepped McDonald before putting the ball into the net for what was his first goal of the season. Whitley stepped up a gear after this success and four minutes later only a fine fingertip save by McDonald kept out a powerful shot from Robinson. From the resultant corner, Brian Smith headed over the bar. Just a minute before half time, Whitley doubled their lead when Dale’s accurate crossfield pass picked out Paul Chow near the by line on the right of goal. Chow headed the ball back across goal where both Smith and Scroggins attempted but failed to make proper contact and with the keeper off balance, Phil Bell’s mis-hit shot in front of goal found the back of the net. While Whitley’s fi rst half performance may not have merited a two goal advantage, it had the effect of leaving Paul Chow challenges the Marske keeper for a high ball Marske deflated and the second half saw Whitley in complete control. Two minutes before the hour mark, Bells’ glancing header from Ormston’s cross made it 3-0 and Whitley enjoyed a comfortable win over newly promoted two minutes later, McFarlane’s throw in on the left was Marske with two goals each from Paul Chow and Phil Bell played on to Chow who rifled home a great 20 yard shot and moved up to second place in the table. which gave McDonald no chance.

Marske’s first attem pt on goal came in the sixth minute but the ball went just wide. Robinson was looking lively for Whitley and after providing a ball for Dale which nearly brought the breakthrough, he tried a shot from 20 yards which was only inches wide of the upright with McDonald beaten. Midway through the half, Karl Charlton had Marske’s best chance, heading over the bar from a right wing cross. Meanwhile Robinson and McFarlane both kept up the pressure on the visitors’ goal and in the 32nd minute, Robinson surged into the penalty area before going to ground under a challenge from a defender.

1970’s The early 1970’s saw Bay’s successes continue with the League Cup being won in 1970/71, and the County Cup in 1970/71 and 1972/73. With the demise of amateur football the Club’s fortunes took a nosedive, culminating in them having to apply for re-election to the League in 1979/80. 1980’s In 1987/88, with fortunes rising, the club joined the Northern Premier League. In 1989/90 the Bay had their best ever run in the FA Cup, when they reached the 3rd Round, going down 1-0 at Rochdale, after a 1-0 win at then League side Scarborough, and in the 2nd Round defeating former winners Preston North End 2-0 in front of the BBC Match of the Day cameras. 1990’s The following season Whitley won not only the First Division Cup for the second time but also the Championship and promotion to the Premier Division.

A decline in fortunes followed during the later 90’s and in 2000 Whitley were relegated back to the Northern League. 2000’s A new century marked the beginning of the most successful period in the club’s history as they rose to national prominence with record breaking achievements in the FA Vase. The 2001/02 season proved to be one of the most memorable in the clubs’ history when in only their second season in the competition and against all expectations they won the FA Vase at Villa Park, thanks to a spectacular Ian Chandler header in extra tim e against their Eastern League opponents Tiptree United.
