Cambridge reach play-off final

Tue 06 May, 11:00 PM


Cambridge United booked their place in the Blue Square Premier play-off final after a 2-1 victory over Burton Albion on Tuesday night.The match was delicately poised after a 2-2 draw in the first-leg - but Cambridge made their home advantage tell with a victory which gave them a 4-3 aggregate win.

Cambridge started the match in wonderful fashion as Robert Wolleaston put them ahead after just 30 seconds.

Burton, though, were soon level as Daryl Clare headed home on 15 minutes - but The Brewers were denied as Wolleaston's cross-come shot deceived goalkeeper Kevin Poole and dropped over him into the net just after the hour mark.

Cambridge held on to claim the win and book their place at Wembley on May 18, when they will face Exeter City with the prize being a place and a return to the Football League.
