Wroxham beat Whitehawk 2-1 in the FA Vase semi-final second leg to win the tie 4-1 and book a meeting with holders Whitley Bay in the final at Wembley.

Early goals from Steve Spriggs and Shaun Howes ensured that Wroxham's first-leg lead was never threatened.

"I'm not getting any younger and I never thought I'd get to Wembley," Howes told BBC Radio Norfolk. "There's relief and celebration."

Manager David Batch added: "In the final we've got everything to gain and nothing to lose.

"Whitley Bay have got everything to lose. I'm really pleased, that's the one I'd have taken before the game."

Assistant manager Carl Fox said: "I'm delighted for people like Kenny Cook, Tom Jarrett and everyone behind the scenes, with the history the club's had it's always escaped them.

"It's brilliant to finally get to Wembley, some of the boys in the dressing room are in tears, it means that much to them.
