... and they also get home advantage after venue switch!
Biggleswade Town will face Langford in an all-Spartan South Midlands League North Beds Charity Cup final on Friday, May 9 after the Reds beat Stotfold 2-1 at Forde Park on Tuesday night.
UCL champions and Beds Senior Cup finalists Stotfold started favourites to reach their second cup final and were ahead in the tenth minute when former Langford front man Ricky Case opened the scoring.
However just a minute before the interval, Langford drew level through former Roker striker Wes Byrne who went on to bag his second and the winner 12 minutes from time.
"Langford played very well and deserved their win," said Stotfold boss Ian Allinson.
However there is now a new venue at which the centenary charity cup final will be played, for with Biggleswade' new Carlsberg Stadium not ready, next Friday's game will now be played at Langford's Forde Park with a 7.30pm start.
And this season's Hinchingbrooke Cup final will be an all-Lincolnshire affair after Deeping Rangers' skipper Lee Ellison's 36th minute free kick ended Potton United's hopes at The Hollow on Tuesday night.
The home side missed several chances to take the lead but a foul by Craig Lanham led to the free kick and returning United goalkeeper Joe Pursell was unable to keep it out.
Rangers will now face their Lincs rivals Blackstones in the final.
