The two teams in 4th and 5th places won through over the teams in 2nd and 3rd places after the second-leg of each semi-final produced a close finish and in one case required extra-time to separate the two teams.
York City finally made it through with a goal in the second-half of extra-time to beat Mansfield Town 2-1 on aggregate after the ninety minutes finished 0-0 (and away goals not counting).
In the other semi-final Luton Town held on to win 3-2 on aggregate after going behind 2-1 despite taking a first-half lead via a penalty. Wrexham stormed back and scored twice but couldn’t complete the comeback after setting themselves too much to do following their 2-0 first-leg defeat.
Luton Town now face York City at Wembley on Sunday to see who will join Conference Champions Fleetwood Town in promotion to the Football League.
