Shaw Lane FC and Frickley Athletic FC are this year’s finalists, the County FA are offering big discounts on tickets ,which are available to all its Charter Standard Clubs. They offer tickets at £1 each (minimum purchase of 5 tickets and maximum 30 tickets). Paying on the night would cost you £7 for adults and £3 for children/concessions.
