Colchester United will be aiming to book their place in the final of the BBC Essex Senior Cup on Tuesday evening when they host Hashtag United (7:45pm KO).
The U’s youngsters made it through to the last four after wins over Heybridge Swifts, Walthamstow, and most recently, Buckhurst Hill in the quarter finals.
Now, only Hashtag United stand between Colchester United and the final of the competition which is set to be played at the JobServe Community Stadium on Tuesday 19th March (7:45pm) against either Redbridge or Maldon & Tiptree.

Pre-Match Thoughts
Academy Transition Coach Dave Huzzey provided some pre-match thoughts ahead of Tuesday's semi-final - watch them in the above video.
Huzzey said that getting knocked out at this stage of the competition provides additional motivation for both himself, and the squad: “It puts a bit more fire in your belly, definitely. I went to the final between Braintree and Concord last season and you want to be a part of those occasions, especially with the game being played at the stadium.
“In the last round we made a bit of a racket with the drum to my right hand side, so if we can get a bit more atmosphere like that then it will be excellent.”
As has been the case in the last couple of rounds, the U’s will likely draw on some first team players who’ve had restricted minutes over the last few weeks.
In previous rounds, the likes of Tom Smith, Owura Edwards and Brad Ihionvien have all been given opportunities to prove what they can do.
