By DICK KIRKUP MOVE OVER , Newcastle and Sunderland . . . South Shields are also on their way to Wembley ! Tomorrow our magnificent Mariners travel to Leicestershire to tackle the famed Friar Lane Old Boys in the quarter - final of the FA Challenge Vase and victory would put Shields just two matches the home and away semi - final from Wembley's hallowed turf . Bob " The Messiah " Stokoe has led Sunderland out there ; Newcastle boss Gordon Lee will have his greatest moment when he leads the Magpies out next week in the League Cup Final - but their joy over this great experience is nothing to what Shields manager Bobby Elwell would feel if , on Saturday , April 10 , he led out his " Black and Amber Army " in the Vase Final . Says Bobby : " What a day that would be for our club and our town . We've got a hard job against Friar Lane , but who says we can't do it ? I've every confidence in my team and they are such a COLIN MADSEN great bunch of lads . They'll fight until they drop to win a place at Wembley . " " My players train as hard as anybody and I never hear a grumble from them even when I call them in for special training on Sunday mornings . And they are so cool . SPORTS SPECIAL GO TO IT , SHIELDS , YOU CAN REACH WEMBLEY ! " GREAT SPIRIT " " Sometimes when we are travelling for a big Vase game I'm almost a bundle of nerves , but the lads everyone of them is a key player just get on with their dominoes as though they were going for a training stint . Their spirit is great and in football the hardest thing to beat is the fighting spirit that exists in a team . We've got it and I along with our ability . " think it will see us through , Alan Suggett , now recovered from his bout of flu , returns to the side and midfield ace Ray Young has got over his groin strain , but goalkeeper Dick Patterson is still out with a fractured thumb . However , in Stan Craig Shields have a goalkeeper whose recent brilliance stamps him more than a mere stand - in . The tear is : - Craig : McDonald , Comp ton , Carr , Rutherford ; Young , Graham , Hunter , Suggett ;, Robson , Parker . Sub . Mad den . team - still unbeaten who play charity matches . Each team has its own secretary , but the club's overall football secretary is 55 - year old Ken Jewitt , who was born in Bishop Auckland . - " DELIGHTED " Says Ken : " I couldn't be more delighted that South Shields are our opposition . I can assure everybody from Shields that they will receive a warm welcome and , win or lose , it will be a great day for us all . " I've been down here since 1928 when my father , a Durham miner , hitch - hiked to Leicester to find work , and the visit of Shields brings back a host of memories for me and my wife . " I have also received information on Friar Lane from exiled Shieldsman Colin Madsen , who moved to Leicester in 1962 and who now runs his own taxi business . Colin , a former unsuccessful candidate for the South Shields Town Council , is the brother of Coun . Alan Madsen . numerous Colin told me : " Friar Lane are a very good side indeed , and they are a very friendly club . Playing have a tight defence and although they win honours . they don't score many goals . " Their ground , formerly allotments which they took over six years ago after having it extensivelq re turfed at a cost of £ 1,100 , has slight slope from one touchline to the other . This was done deliberately to assist drainage , but the slope is hardly noticeable . It a ☆ ★ ☆ ★ Tomorrow FIRST DIVISION Liverpool v Newcastle At Anfield , 3.0 .
