National League sides Southend United and Wealdstone will meet at Wembley Stadium on May 10 after winning their respective semi-final fixtures. Both clubs defeated National League North opposition to secure their places in the showpiece event, according to the National League.
Southend United progressed after a 2-1 victory against Scunthorpe United at Roots Hall. The home side took the lead through a first-half penalty and doubled their advantage shortly after the interval. Despite a late consolation goal from the visitors, Southend maintained their lead to reach their first final in the competition, per the Echo.
Wealdstone secured their spot with a 1-0 win over Radcliffe. A single goal in the 15th minute proved enough for the Stones to overcome their lower-league opponents. This victory marks the first time Wealdstone have reached the FA Trophy final since they won the competition in 1985. Tickets for the final go on sale next week, with both clubs receiving an initial allocation of 15,000, according to official club statements.
