Leading at the break thanks to a Diego De Girolamo goal, the Bucks suffered a double blow as South Shields struck twice in as many minutes after the break through Jon Shaw and Carl Finnigan.

Ashley Young pulled Buxton level just after the hour-mark but hopes of a comeback were short-lived as Finnigan then Josh Gillies scored for the hosts, who will play Warrington Town in the final.
