Barwell have completed the FA Vase Semi-Final line-up after easing to a 3-0 victory over Norton & Stockton Ancients in the final Sixth Round Proper tie.
An Adam Cunnington double helped the Leicestershire club in to the final four of the competition in the rearranged tie at Kirkby Road.
The striker’s goals have now set up a last four clash against holders Whitley Bay, with the first leg to be played on Saturday 27 March.
Barwell, who sit top of the Midland Football Alliance, were playing in the last eight of the FA Vase for the first time in their history.
They initially found it hard to break down a disciplined Norton & Stockton side and the scores remained goalless at half-time.
But the hosts came out firing after the restart and took the lead through Kev Charley on 48 minutes.
Norton & Stockton pushed forward in search of an equaliser as the tie drew to a close but they were unable to find a way through a stubborn Barwell defence.
And their run in this season’s Vase was brought to end when Cunnington caught them on the break seven minutes from time and again just four minutes later.
Whitehawk will face Wroxham in the other Vase Semi-Final.
