There are two Quarter-Final matches for definite with AFC St Austell (4th place in the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League Premier Division but with five games in hand over table topper's Saltash United) entertaining Ascot United (3rd place in the Uhlsport Hellenic Premier League with four games in hand over Highmoor IBIS who are currently top of the table).

The other ties see North Shields (4th in the Northern League Division One) travelling to either United Counties League Holbeach United or Southern Counties East Football League side Erith and Belvedere. Holbeach are in third place with games in hand over current leader's AFC Rushden and Diamonds with The Deres in second place to Phoenix Sports who were knocked out in the fifth round by North Shields.
The final tie sees Shaw Lane Aquaforce (third place to Tadcaster Albion) welcome either Glossop North End (second in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division) or 2012 winner's Dunston UTS (5th in the Northern League Division One).
Could Glossop North End be the first ex football league side to win the FA VASE? Glossop North End (named Glossop from 1899 to 1992) were members of the football league from 1898 through to 1915. They spent one season in the top division which was 1899/1900. Their chairman at the time was Samuel Hill-Wood who was born in the town and went on to hold the same position at Arsenal in their very succesful 1930's period. Samuel is the grandfather of Peter Hill-Wood who also served as Chairman with The Gunners.
