A last minute goal from Ross Allen earned the Islanders a place in The FA Carlsberg National League System Cup Final and sent a large crowd home happy.
The goal capped a stirring comeback from the home side who after taking a fifth minute lead found themselves 2-1 behind with little more than half an hour to play.
With the backing of a passionate crowd combined with intense pressure in the final quarter of the game, Guernsey forced an equaliser with six minutes to play before snatching the crucial winner in the dying seconds.
The Dorset side were distraught at the final whistle but they had played their part in an excellent game that was a credit to this level of the game.
Guernsey League will now meet the winners of the other Semi-Final between Liverpool County Premier League and the Yorkshire Old Boys League who meet on Merseyside on 17 April.
