Golcar United have won promotion to Step 5 after winning 2-1 after extra-time at Holker Old Boys in the play-off final.

Super sub Ben Burnett was the hero with the late winner, ten minutes from time.

The final was certainly dramatic as Holker took the lead early on in the second half.

An own goal midway through the half levelled the final.

Burnett then wrote his name in Golcar folklore as penalties loomed.

The village club have come from nowhere in recent years and they head into Step 5 after winning promotion during their first full season as a Non League club.
