Baptists booked their place in the final courtesy of a 2-1 victory away to Christchurch Bromley last month, while St Cuthberts got the better of fellow Liverpool-based side Focus Quest in the other last four tie.

Battle, whose achievements have far outweighed their expectations at the start of the prestigious knockout competition, previously eliminated Emmanuel Lightning (Croydon), Kings Sports (Hertfordshire) and Gold Hill Baptist (Buckinghamshire).

Baptists finished third in ADA East Sussex Football League Division Two and were just a point behind runners-up Icklesham Casuals. The club also fielded a second team in Division Five and a third side in Division Six.
