Meanwhile, this will be Usher Celtic’s first appearance in a decider – and it is the first time a junior club has reached the final since 2012 when St Pat’s CY played Shamrock Rovers. They lost that game 1-0 at Tallaght Stadium.
Wayside Celtic were the last junior club to win it however, defeating Athlone Town 2-1 in 1999.
On their route to the final, Bohs have seen off North End United (5-1), Crumlin United (1-0) and Shelbourne (4-3).
Meanwhile, Usher Celtic have reached the decider following wins over VEC (7-0), Sherriff YC (5-1), Gorey Rangers (4-2), Malahide United (3-2), Drogheda United (4-2) and Bray Wanderers (4-1).
