The New Saints and Caernarfon Town reached the FAW Youth Cup final after both recorded 3-1 semi-final victories. Caernarfon defeated Barry Town United at Cardiff International Sports Stadium, while the Saints overcame Cardiff Met at Park Hall to continue their pursuit of another title.

Charlie Griffith scored twice within five minutes to give Caernarfon a two-goal lead before the half-hour. Barry substitute Joseff Bourner reduced the deficit late on, but Griffith then supplied Osian Ellis for a stoppage-time goal that ensured last season's runners-up returned to the final.

The Saints scored early through Ellis McCue and added a Brodie Summers penalty. Cardiff Met missed two penalties before Josh Stephens scored, and Summers settled the contest in stoppage time before receiving a second yellow card. The final was arranged for April 5.
