Bracknell Town are back in the Berks & Bucks County FA Senior Men’s Cup Final after beating MK Dons 2-1.
It is the second time the Robins have beaten the Dons after a famous Michael Buck goal earned a 1-0 win in November 2008.
Bracknell enjoyed a rollercoaster first half to lead 2-1 at the break through Jordan Esprit and Joe Grant with the latter substituted after goalkeeper Chris Grace was sent off for bringing down Joel Anker.
He was replaced by striker Ben Harris who took the gloves but he could do little about the resultant spot kick that made it 1-1 on the half hour.
