National League play-offs round-up: Former Chesterfield striker heading to Wembley

Harrogate Town and Notts County will contest this year's National League play-off final.

Simon Weaver’s Harrogate edged past Boreham Wood in the National League semi-final on Saturday with Jack Muldoon’s 65th minute header the difference between the two sides.

In the other semi-final goals from ex-Chesterfield striker Kristian Dennis and winger Callum Roberts was enough for County to see off Barnet at Meadow Lane.

The two teams will now meet in the final next Sunday (August 2, 3pm) at Wembley behind closed doors to decide who is promoted to League Two.

Harrogate finished second in the table on 66 points, with the Magpies just one place and three points behind them.

Weaver said: “It would just be fantastic to welcome the fans back - whenever that may be - to be playing the likes of Bolton, what a prospect.”

Ardley added: “Wembley is a fantastic place to go and I feel like we have got the players who can deliver on the day.”

Meanwhile, in the National League North play-off semi-finals, Altrincham beat York City 2-0 and Boston United overcame Gateshead United 5-3. The Lincolnshire club will host the final next Saturday (August 1, 3pm).

In the National League South semi-finals, Dartford won 2-1 away at Havant & Waterlooville and Weymouth defeated Dorking Wanderers 3-2 and they will host the final next Saturday (August 1, 3pm).

According to the record books the Spireites have never played Altrincham, Dartford or Weymouth and have only faced Boston United once which was a 3-1 win in an FA Cup tie in 1974.
