Worcester City have narrowly missed out on a first trip to Wembley.

They were beaten by Great Wakering Rovers after their FA Vase semi-final ended level after two legs.

Great Wakering Rovers will now go onto play Romford.

The team went to Southend-on-Sea with a 1-0 lead thanks to a strike from Elliot Hartley in the second half of the game, but it wasn't meant to be this time around.

Worcester City were named Hellenic League champions on Tuesday after beating Thornbury Town. It was their first league title since 1978/79.
