The FA Vase first-round tie between Wythenshawe and Holker Old Boys will be replayed after the referee made a glaring error during a penalty shootout. Wythenshawe were down to 10 men after Will Calligan was sent off, and after the game finished 2-2, the game went to a penalty shootout. Holker emerged victorious by 4-3 in the shootout, but had to nominate a player not to be involved during the spotkicks and thus ruled out their goalkeeper.

As Wythenshawe were down to 10 men after Will Calligan's red card, Holker, who won 4-3 on penalties after the game finished 2-2, had to nominate a player from their team who would not take a spot-kick. They selected their goalkeeper and were allowed to do so, but by the laws of the game that would then have meant he should have taken no part in the shootout.
