Can we hold on to the Vase?

14 June 2000

Albion will be competing once again this year in the granddaddy of all preseason tournaments, the Bass Charity Vase, which we won last year. The format of the tournament is as per last year with 7 teams (West Brom, Derby, Nottinham Forest, Notts County, Stoke City, Burton Albion and Gresley Rovers) playing 2 games each in a league. The top 2 teams in the league, based on points scored and goal difference, play each other in the final.

We play Notts County at Marston's Sports Ground, Shobnall Road, Burton on Trent on Monday 24 July (7pm) and Derby County at the same venue on Wednesday 26 July (7pm). The final should we get there is on Wednesday 2nd August (7.30pm) at Burton Albion's ground, Eton Park. Unfortunately the Derby game is on the same night as the First Team friendly against India, and the final is on the same night as the friendly against Swindon.
