Zebras were stretched a bit more in their semi-final but got through 2-1 after a tight contest against Sun Inn. Malki Norford and Josh Patterson scored the all-important goals with Shae Johnston keeping Sun in the hunt.
The Sun were involved in a nine-goal thriller with Thornhill before emerging winners to book their place in the Kenny Hailes final.
Zach Martin (2), Owen Fearon, Dan Hill and Hayden Whittingham scored the goals for The Sun while Nathan Dryden (2), Lewis Selkirk and Jack Wordsworth responded for Thornhill.
The one Premier Division game saw Lowca Pirates win 3-1 at Dearham Commercial with goals from Owen Woodburn (2) and Elliot Law. Macauley Sharp scored for Dearham.
In Division Two leaders Senhouse Street suffered a rare check when they were held 3-3 at Maryport Amateurs.
They needed goals from Gregg Quayle (2) and Gary O’Driscoll to earn a point – but just have a defeat and now a draw on their 14 match record as they close in on the title. Jack Greenhow, Ethan Harris and evergreen Steven Stoddart scored for Maryport.
The other game in Division Two also finished 3-3 between Royal Oak and Sun Inn Athletic.
Lewis Penn, Dan Dobson and Brad Williamson netted for the Athletic with Connor Buck (2) and Ben Ferguson replying for the Royal Oak.
