Down as early as the sixth minute, Blackpool equalised with McEwan's 15th-minute strike only to find themselves back in arrears before the half-hour mark.

But Wrens took a grip of proceedings in the second period as Archie Addison equalised on 51 minutes, McEwan scored his second from the penalty spot on 68 and Luke Smith gave them breathing space five minutes later.

It continued an excellent cup week for Wrens, whose senior side won through to the Lancashire Amateur Shield final the previous evening, beating premier division leaders Burscough Richmond 3-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.

Blackpool will face Hesketh Bank in the final but first comes a league derby at Poulton tomorrow.
