I do not know about the Trophy, but of the Vase Quarter Finals I have watched over the last five years:

Rob Jones, John Busby and Neil Hair have gone on (not necessarily immediately) to reach the Football League
Adrian Holmes followed the Assistant Pathway
Sam Allison and Tom Reeves remain at National League Level - the latter having a Q-F appointment again this year
and Chris O'Donnell has moved down a level

so a mixed bunch.

Actually I looked back at the Trophy appointments from last season and only James Oldham made the NL middle.
