Goals from Ash Cheetham, Josh Parfitt, Jack Weaver and Nick Grayson presented United with the opportunity to complete a league and cup double if they can overcome Hasland Devonshire or Tibshelf Town who meet in the second semi-final.
Britannia Rose were beaten in the semis of the Derbyshire FA Junior Sunday Cup earlier in the season but encountered no such problems in the last four of the league’s Chatsworth Cup as they beat Bolsover Town 3-1 thanks to strikes by Callum Featherstone, Declan Jenkins and Ben Meadley.
