Cardiff Met players celebrate winning the 2019 Nathaniel MG Cup
Cardiff Met will meet holders Connah's Quay Nomads in the Nathaniel MG Cup final after they beat Barry Town 3-2 in their semi-final.
Nomads came from behind to beat Bala Town 4-1 on Friday night
The students edged their closer affair after also fighting back following Jordan Cotterill's opener.
Adam Rescrow levelled before Emlyn Lewis and Eliot Evans hit the target before Nathaniel Jarvis' late consolation for Barry.
On Friday Anthony Stephens gave Bala the lead, but Paulo Mendes fired low past Alex Ramsey to bring Nomads level two minutes before the break at Maes Tegid.
Three goals in seven second half minutes - from Craig Curran, Mendes and Jamie Mullan - put the visitors in control.
Nomads won the 2020 final, only a few weeks before the 2019-20 season was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bala have twice lost in the final - in 2014 and 2015.
Cardiff Met beat Cambrian & Clydach in the 2019 final, 12 months after they were beaten by New Saints.
Barry have won the competition four times although their most recent appearance in the final was in 2017, when they were beaten by New Saints.
