BINCHESTER Social Club qualified for their second cup final of the season with a hard-fought win over Tudhoe United.
Binny booked themselves a League Cup Final clash with Division One championship-chasers Hunwick Joiners or Masons Arms after seeing off Tudhoe United 4-3 the semi-finals last Sunday.

In the quarter-finals of the competition, Hunwick came from three goals down to clinch a semi-final tie with Masons after extra-time last Sunday.
