The Whites claimed the North title with room to spare and were pitted against South runners-up Coventry City in the semi-finals of the play-offs.

A dramatic 3-2 extra-time victory for Corberan's side on Monday evening sealed their progression into the final.

Birmingham, who were runners-up behind United in the Northern section, made light work of Southern champions Ipswich Town with a 3-0 victory at Portman Road to secure their spot in the national final.
