Farsley Celtic booked their place in their first County Cup final since 2006 after winning 3-1 at holders Bradford (Park Avenue).
Goals from ex Park Avenue players Lamin Colley, Ryan Watson and James Walshaw set up a date with Tadcaster Albion on April 11th at Valley Parade.
The Celts raced into a two-goal lead as Colley broke the deadlock inside the opening five minute.
Avenue, who did not name any substitutes, had a mountain to climb when Watson lashed home.
Liam Dickinson’s header gave Avenue late hope, but Walshaw came off the bench and scored his 40th goal of the campaign.
