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.

Bradford (Park Avenue): Onitiri, Toulson (captain), Hill, Dean, Killock, Chippendale, Payne, Boshell, Sinclair, Sharp, Dickinson.

Farsley Celtic: McKibbin, Hardy (captain), Howarth, Watson, Clayton, Serrant, Nightingale, Daly, Colley (Walshaw 76), Atkinson, Marshall. Subs unused: P. Davidson, Walker, Deacey, Savory.
