A hard-earned 4-2 away victory over Bridlington Town last night saw Rudy Funk’s men storm into the final against Liversedge, which will take place at Sheffield United’s Bramhall Lane on Monday, 21st May (7.45pm).
Trailing 1-0 at half-time and, after going ahead, pegged back to 2-2, the Bulls scored two goals in the last three minutes to seal their place, goals coming from Nick Guest (48 mins), Connor Smythe (54), Ollie Fearon (87) and Lynton Karkach (90).
Opponents Liversedge booked their place by beating visiting Handsworth Parramore 5-2.
AFC Mansfield had a week’s agonising wait to see if they would be promoted in the top two, but those hopes were dashed last weekend when rivals Pickering Town beat Hall Road Rangers 2-1 to pip them on goal difference.
