my long, winding and adventurous road to wembley starts here. at the wellfare ground, for fa cup 1st qualifying round replay. emley afc vs widness. 

emley's most famous moment came in 1998 when they lost 2 1 to west ham at upton park when they were a step 2 non league team, with frank lampard scoring the winner for the hammers. they have since reformed in 2005, due (difficulties in meeting ground grading requirements and the financial implications this would have caused. this is step 5 north east counties league vs step 4 northern premier league west division. 3rd in step 5 vs 17th in step 4 on last season's final placings. and 11th vs 5th thus far. emley 8 points from 5 and widness 9 also from 5 played. 

winners to play step 4 ranked mosleigh on 16th september. extra time and penalties required to decide this one if scores finish level at full time. 

the pewetts vs the Whites.


The wayside also being a newly formed club, having been established in 2003, and steadily  worked their way up the non league pyramid. 

 Kickoff 745 in the shadow of the famous emley moore transmitting mast. 

Last night's full time from the welfare ground and an easy 4 1 victory for the home side. 

Too early first-half goals, saw them establish a two nil lead, but the wayside hit back on the stroke of half-time to keep the game interesting. About of old fashion fisticuffs, ensued on the half time whistle, which lead to the dismissal of widness's manager and assistant. 

Two more second-half goals put the tie to bed in front of an impressive crowd of 375.
