Chesterfield have made it through to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final by recording a 3-2 aggregate win over Fleetwood Town in their Northern Area final second leg at the Proact Stadium.
The visitors trailed 3-1 after the first leg and had an early sight of goal when the ball broke kindly to Antoni Sarcevic on the edge of the box, but he could only fire wide of the post.

James O'Shea and Gary Roberts then tried their luck from range for Chesterfield. However, they both placed their respective efforts over the bar.
Chesterfield came close again as Jimmy Ryan cut in from the left saw his fierce effort pushed away by Chris Maxwell.
Maxwell was forced into another save soon after, as he tipped over a close-range header from Marc Richards.
The home side had a chance to take the lead at the end of the half when Richards latched on to a ball over the top from Sam Morsy, but his attempted chip over the keeper was saved.

After the break Roberts saw an attempt saved by Maxwell, before Morsy drilled wide from the edge of the box.
In the final minute Fleetwood made the breakthrough after Jon Parkin slotted an effort past Tommy Lee, but it proved to be too late as Chesterfield held on to the win.
They will now face Peterborough United in the final at Wembley Stadium on March 30.
