3pm, Saturday 11 February 2012 Winners receive £2,500 from The FA's Prize Fund

Whitley Bay, Northern League pacesetters and unbeaten in 29 consecutive FA Carlsberg Vase matches, were obviously the team to avoid in today’s Fifth Round Proper draw at Wembley.

The four-time Vase winners, including the last three, will play at home to West Auckland Town on 11 February.

Another side from the North East, West Auckland have also been tipped to do well in this season’s competition. They won 3-1 at Bitton on Saturday after being a goal down at the break. They reached Wembley in the old FA Amateur Cup in the 1960s.

Tividale from the Midland Football Alliance cracked seven goals past Binfield in the Fourth Round, Matthew Jukes contributing a hat-trick, and they now welcome Peterborough Northern Star to The Beeches as they try to secure a place in the last eight.

St Ives Town of the United Counties League won with a Stuart Cobb effort eight minutes from time at Tunbridge Wells to earn a home tie with the winners of next Saturday’s replay between Three Bridges and Gresley in Sussex.

The 16 winners at this stage each collect £2,500 from The FA’s Prize Fund.

1 Tividale v Peterborough Northern Star
2 Shortwood United v Ashington
3 Staveley MW v Oadby Town
