Much like in the first game on Saturday, Telford started the better with Remi Walker and Louis Moult seeing early shots saved by Max Dearnley.

Worksop took the lead on 24 minutes as Josh Wilde’s long ball was defended poorly, and Ryan Viggars capitalised to get the opening goal.

The Bucks attempted to respond with an equaliser as Charlie Williams revived a wayward cross before hitting a shot towards goal which was deflected just wide.

After the break, Aleks Starcenko and Vaughan Redford both had shots which went over.

The lead was doubled by Ryan Viggars on 67 minutes after good work by Starcenko to play him on.

Telford were given a lifeline as Rio Owen wriggled down the left-hand side before creating a chance for Walker to fire home.

The turnaround was complete as Owen turned from creator to scorer on the 83rd minute, tucking the ball underneath Dearnley.

Early in extra-time, Telford had a chance to score when Walker found Ryley who set up McLintock to drive a low shot wide of the goal.

Worksop retook the lead right at the end of the first-half in added time when Mason O’Malley’s cross was headed home at the back post by Josh Wilde.

Starcenko put the game beyond doubt five minutes into the second half of extra-time after firing home following a goal-mouth scramble.

The cherry on the cake was added by Lewis Whitham with a good strike from the edge of the box with four minutes to go.
