    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    Carl Winchester flashes an effort across the face of goal from the edge of the Tranmere area after some good possession play from the hosts.

    Meanwhile, Premier League referee Mike Dean is in the away end backing his side. Seeing a referee out of their kit (their refereeing kit I mean) is a very odd sight.

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    Into the last 30 minutes here.

    Tranmere are heading back to Wembley for a second successive season as it stands.

    The hosts have had the better of things this half but they're yet to test goalkeeper Scott Davies since the break.

    Forest Green midfielder Carl Winchester needs to be careful here.

    He was booked right at the end of the first half for dissent and he's just had a real go at referee Eddie Ilderton after the official didn't award his side a free-kick on the halfway line.

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    George Williams has looked really lively since coming on for Forest Green.

    He's won a free-kick, had a VERY speculative shot go wide (from aforementioned set-piece) and now he beats his man down the right before slipping as he crosses.

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    George Williams wins a free-kick about 40 yards from the Tranmere goal and, clearly of the mind that you've got to buy a ticket to win the raffle, decides to have a shot.

    It doesn't go in.

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    For any latecomers another, possibly final reminder, that there are no away goals in the play-offs.

    If we're level on aggregate after 90 minutes then we'll have extra-time and if we're still tied up then it'll be penalties.

  8. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    Tranmere get us back under way here. As it stands they'll be heading to Wembley.

    The hosts have made a change at the break, with George Williams coming on for Junior Mondal.

    Whichever club prevails in this season's League Two play-offs will face Bolton Wanderers in the third tier next season.

    Wanderers confirmed earlier today that they have appointed administrators, meaning they will begin next season with a 12-point deduction.

    They appeared in the High Court last week over a £1.2m unpaid tax bill.

  11. Pitch problems for Newportpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 13 May 2019

    However, it's not all good news for Newport... anyone got a pitch they can use for a few days?

    The Exiles have nowhere to train before their League Two play-off final at Wembley on 25 May, as their Newport Stadium training base is scheduled for maintenance work.

    Manager Michael Flynn is seeking alternative facilities as the club does not own a ground or training pitch.

    "Evidently our providers didn't have the faith we had that we were going to get to Wembley," chairman Gavin Foxall told BBC Radio Wales.

  12. Exiles reach Wembley finalpublished at 20:38 British Summer Time 13 May 2019

    On Sunday, Newport County became the first EFL club to book a play-off final place this season by beating Mansfield on penalties in their semi-final.

    Goalkeeper Joe Day was the hero, saving Tyler Walker's spot-kick, while Newport converted all five of their attempts.

    It's all square here, which means Tranmere are winning.

    The visitors saw their one-goal lead from the first leg cancelled out by Joseph Mills' early header before James Norwood levelled with a tidy finish.

    Tranmere have been on top since then and, as it stands, it is they who will be heading to Wembley to play Newport in the League Two play-off final.

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    Forest Green goalscorer Joseph Mills seems to be at the heart of everything right now.

    He concedes a free-kick by the corner flag for a needless barge and goalkeeper Lewis Ward has to do well to punch away to safety.

    Into two minutes of stoppage time now.

    The hosts are pressing now as we approach half-time.

    Forest Green left-back Joseph Mills gets in behind the Tranmere defence and his chipped ball to the back post is well defended by Liam Ridehalgh under some serious pressure.

    Joseph Mills finds Dayle Grubb in space on the edge of the Tranmere area but the midfielder's curling effort is straight at keeper Scott Davies.

    That's better from the hosts though.

    The momentum is with Tranmere now.

    Another goal before half-time would put them in complete control of this tie.

    Forest Green 1-1 Tranmere (1-2 agg)

    Tranmere had just come back into it before that James Norwood leveller.

    The former Forest Green man missed a number of chances on Friday night but he made no mistake tonight with a composed finish that beat goalkeeper Lewis Ward.

    Just the 32nd of the season for James Norwood, who volleys Tranmere back into the lead in this tie after David Perkins' chipped ball is knocked down into his path by Kieron Morris.
