Finn Harps Under-17s booked a place in the Mark Farren Cup final in dramatic fashion today.

Declan Boyle’s young charges defeated Bray Wanderers 3-2 after extra time at the Carlisle Grounds in their semi-final.

A goal two minutes from the end of the extra period by Jamie Doherty sent Harps hurtling into the final.

Harps had enjoyed a near-perfect first half with Ronan Gallagher and Daragh Ellison netting goals to give the visitors a two-goal cushion.

However, Evan Dunne pulled a goal back for Bray and when Dunne hit a second the Seagulls were level.

It was destined for penalties until Harps and Doherty found a way.

Harps will take on Cork City or Cabinteely in the Mark Farren Cup final.
