No further goals were added in extra time and the game went to a penalties. United held their nerve in the shoot out to win the game to book their place in the final where they will meet HKL FIVE champions Carr Vale Utd.

In the Hutson Cup, Hasland Club faced a difficult task as they took on league champions Britannia in the semi-final, producing an exceptional performance before just losing out by the odd goal in three, Ben Goodwin and Kurtis Morley scoring the winning goals to send their side through to the final.

Clowne Wanderers await them following their 5-1 derby win over Apollo in which substitute Regan Eldridge scored twice, Ash Bonnar, Lewis Alan Price and Liam Vardy once.
