Last season's beaten finalists Branton are aiming to lift the trophy this time around but are sure to be given a tough test by their Carcroft counterparts.

Both sides are currently fighting for the league title and second placed Carcroft sit just two points behind leaders Branton - but do have a vital game in hand.

This season's head-to-head record between the teams sees Branton hold the advantage after following up a 3-1 home success in October with a valuable point in January's 2-2 draw at Carcroft.

Branton's cup journey did not start smoothly as they needed extra time to overcome Conisbrough in the first round but moved up a gear with a 7-1 win at Scawthorpe in the next stage.

A narrow 3-2 victory against Harworth put them into the last four, where they beat Tickhill 7-0 to reach their second successive final.

After early round wins over Hi-Way Colts and Doncaster Pumas, Carcroft booked their place with successive 3-2 triumphs.

They sneaked past Edenthorpe Juniors in the quarter-finals before recording the same scoreline against semi-final opponents Sprotbrough and Cusworth Crusaders to claim their prestigious final spot.
