The New Longton lads will be aiming to go one better than last season when they were beaten 4-3 in the final by New Farington House.

Ingol Rangers, managed by Dean Crossen, are making their eighth appearance in the final, which they have won on three occasions.

Rangers have finished their Premier League season in third place and they too have dynamic strike force in ex-PNE favourite Lee Ashcroft (left) who has netted 22 goals, Adam Stammers has scored 14 and Jonty McDonald has chipped in with 10.

Experienced referee Barry Cropp, who officiates in both the National League and Football League, is the first referee from Blackpool to take charge of this prestigious final.
