ENGLAND’S record goalscorer Wayne Rooney dropped in at training at Warrington Rylands 1906 last night, Tuesday, ahead of their Buildbase FA Vase semi-final against Walsall Wood.
Rooney, currently manager of Championship side Derby County, is a long-time client of Blues owner Paul Stretford and his Triple S sports agency visited Gorsey Lane to talk to the players as they prepared for Saturday’s game. He passed on some tips to the players about preparing for a big game.
Although Saturday’s semi-final is to be played behind closed doors due to the government’s covid restrictions virtual tickets to watch the game priced £5, including a donation to St Rocco’s Hospice, can be purchased using the link: https://ticketpass.org/event/EGPAIK/warrington-rylands-v-walsall-wood-fc
The winners of Saturday’s semi-final will face Binfield of the Hellenic League in the final Wembley on Saturday 22nd May.
The final will be part of the FA Non-League Finals Day kicking off at 12.15pm ahead of the FA Trophy final between Hereford United and Hornchurch at 4.15pm.
After the Government confirmed supporters will be able to return to sports stadia from May 17, the FA has confirmed that both clubs in the Vase final will be entitled to 1,500 tickets.
