St John, particularly, will be overjoyed at reachng the final having been knocked out in an earlier round, only to be reinstated when victors St Peter A resigned from Division I.
With around 170 spectators watching both games at the FB Fields, Tower won 5-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw against St Clement while St John beat Wanderers 5-4 from the spot, following a 1-1.
Tower, top of Division I with a 100 per cent record, twice came from behind to share four goals at the end of normal time.
Ross Crenan, who had a fine game in the centre of defence, gave St Clement an early lead before Sam Crabtree levelled the scores from 12 yards after John Tardivel’s shot came back off a post.
Asha Moyse restored the Saints’ advantage midway through the second half when, after racing on to a long pass, he cut back inside a defender to give himself space to score from eight yards.
Tower pressed hard for a second equaliser and though they were repeatedly thwarted by dogged defending they finally drew level with ten minutes to go through Elliott Poole, following a scramble in a goalmouth.
Tower manager Simon Petulla said: ‘It was a good game and give full credit to St Clement they played to their strengths and pushed us really hard.
‘In truth, neither team deserved to lose the game on the day.’
St Clement manager Kevin Murphy said: ‘It was a great game and Tower just about deserved to win it in the end; we were under a lot of pressure late on and our goalkeeper Bradley Rolland and defender Ross Crenan were outstanding.
‘We gave them a game and that’s what matters as this level; we’re thoroughly enjoying every game and everyone is playing with a smile on their face which is brilliant.’
Charlie Petulla, Elliott Poole, Calvin Weir, Sam Crabtree and John Tardivel were successful with the spot kicks for Tower and Asha Moyse, Liam Spencer and Joel Le Boustouler likewise for St Clement, who missed only one kick putting it over a crossbar.
St John owed their success to goalkeeper Stephen Le Cornu as he pulled off a string of fine saves including one penalty stop low to his right in the shoot-out.
St John manager Alan Derrien said: ‘Stephen was outstanding; he was fully tested in the latter stages of the second half and he did not let himself or the club down.
‘We have a great group of lads, not one of them is in the Island squad and I’m delighted the have reached the final.
‘We were fortunate to take the lead; Zack Pygott had an open goal because the Wanderers goalkeeper was racing back after giving the ball back to the teams who were playing on the pitch alongside us!’
Wanderers manager Graeme Mourant said: ‘St John’s goalkeeper was outstanding and full credit to him he made some terrific saves.
Yes, we made an error for their goal and we finally equalised in time added on for stoppages.’
Bradley Stratford bagged Wanderers’ goal and also scoring a penalty together with colleagues Keiron Brennan, Ryan De Gruchy and Tom Hooper.
Wanderers’ fourth kick was saved low to his right by Le Cornu.
St John’s penalties were scored by Richard Street, Danny Cutland, James Bailey, Hugo Powell and Ryan Evans.
