Stockport County secured their place in the League One play-off final with a dominant 3-0 aggregate victory over Stevenage. Building on their 1-0 first-leg lead, the home side sealed their passage to Wembley with a comfortable 2-0 win at Edgeley Park. Louie Barry opened the scoring early in the match, before Kyle Wootton's acrobatic effort was deflected into the net by Stevenage defender Carl Piergianni just before the break, giving Stockport a commanding cushion. The victory represents a significant achievement for manager Dave Challinor's side, who have gone one better than last season when they were eliminated at the semi-final stage. Challinor admitted that last year's play-off exit had 'hurt' and had driven his team throughout the current campaign, as they prepare to face either Bradford or Bolton on May 24.
