Rushden & Diamonds U18s produced a solid performance at the Prostar Stadium to make it into the Midland Youth Cup Final. The only goal of the game in the 1-0 victory over Shrewsbury Town came after a long ball forward from Lewis Hallford was headed over the keeper by the unfortunate Shrews captain Harry Hooman on 75 minutes.
