"We now go onto the final on March 28 at County FA HQ in Stokesley so it would be great if ourselves and Itis Itis, who are in the Saturday Cup final, could bring home the cups for Scarborough.

"Everybody played well today but our man of the match has to be Lloyd Henderson, although the back four pushed him very close."

Excellent play from Jackson Jowett and Jamie Bradshaw set up Matthew Griffiths to open the scoring for Angel and the hosts made it 2-0 when Kurtis Henderson turned his marker in the penalty area and although his initial shot was parried by the keeper he fired in the rebound.

Joe Gallagher's shot then hit the crossbar and bounced down, with Isaac Sands slotting home the rebound to give Angel a three-goal half-time lead.
