Tonbridge Angels booked their place in the Ryman League Premier Division play-off final after a dramatic extra-time win over Harrow Borough in Tuesday night's semi-final.

In front of a crowd of more than 1,100 at Longmead, Chris Piper opened the scoring for the hosts on six minutes when he despatched Adrian Stone's knock-down. Scott Kinch doubled the lead 15 minutes later with a dipping volley into the corner.

The visitors halved the deficit three minutes later when Rocky Baptiste evaded the Angels defence to round Lee Worgan and roll home.

Baptiste then levelled for the Londoners a little over 20 minutes from time when he headed home a looping cross, and there were no further goals meaning extra-time was needed.

After a goalless first priod, Ade Olorunda struck nine minutes from the end of extra-time at the second attempt after Nick Jupp failed to hold his first attempt.

Tonbridge will now host Lowestoft Town - who won 2-1 at Suffolk rivals Bury Town in the other semi-final - in Saturday's final with the winner securing Blue Square Bet South football for next season.
