​It’s a battle of Premier Division big guns after Harrox, who finished second in the table behind champions Uppingham Town, take on third-placed Warboys Town.

Harrox scrambled into the final despite a brave effort from the 10 men of Crowland who suffered an early red card for Matt Smith.

The semi-final hosts fought back from 2-0 down to level before the break, but Harrox claimed a winner seven minutes from time through Luke Gardner.
