The 2013–14 season saw the side reach the semi-final of the FA Vase. The run included victories against several Step 5 sides along the way including away victories atAFC Rushden and Diamonds andEast Preston.
The semi-final draw gave the Andrews a two-legged tie against much favouredWest Auckland. A goalless draw was played out in the first leg, which provided a chance of a bumper attendance at Canal Street for the return tie. A record 1,600 crowd in the second leg saw St Andrews go 1–0 up with a goal by 16-year-old, Leicester, England native, Brady Hickey. It was not to be for the Andrews as two goals for West Auckland in the last 11 minutes from set pieces put an end to the Vase run.
