Ashton Athletic's media man Pete Barton echoed the thoughts of many who witnessed the Yellows' 1-0 win over Morpeth Town in the Vase:
Absolutely fantastic result for @AshtonAthletic. A great defensive display from the team! It doesn't do the old blood pressure any good though. Can't wait for Monday's draw!! #COYY 💛💙

With clubs across our league and across the country recognising Armistice Day, Joe Gaughan of Silsden AFC summed up the importance of commemorating the day when the Cobbydalers hosted Daisy Hill:
Its easy to talk about your club and performances but i’d like to personally give @OfficialDHFC a massive shout for paying their respects in wearing poppies today. Love that at our level! Also superb from the reds in wearing respected black armbands! #LestWeForget 🌹
