On what Darlo fans call Chris Senior day, it's appropriate that two other people who played a major part in that great day back in 2011, sealed a trip to Wembley in the National League play off final.

Keeper Sam Russell and manager Mark Cooper are both now with Forest Green Rovers, who completed a 3-1 aggregate victory over Dagenham and Redbridge in the two legged play off semi final on Sunday. FGR will play Tranmere Rovers in the final at Wembley next Sunday, kick off 3pm.
