FA Vase 4th Round Benfleet v Punjab Utd

Benfleet FC were established in 1922 and began life as Benfleet United, later changing their name to Benfleet Rangers after a merger with local side, Parkfields Athletic, before simplifying their name to Benfleet FC.

This current FA Vase run marks the furthest the club has every gone in the competition, making this 4th round tie a historic milestone for the 'Swampers.'

In contrast, Punjab United were founded much more recently in 2003, they didn't join the Kent County League Premier Division until 2016/17 season where they won the league and intermediate cup in their first season.

In 2023, they lifted the Kent Senior Trophy, like Benfleet this 4th round tie, marks the furthest they have reached in the competition.
