Newcastle Town took their place in the trophy decider and beat Wolverhampton Casuals 2-1, after Ellesmere were thrown out of the competition.
The Meresiders defeated Newcastle 2-1 in the semi-final, but were penalised for fielding two ineligible players. Rule 12-3 was invoked after Scott Ryan and Matt Jones joined on non-contract terms from Shrewsbury Town.
But Ellesmerestill have a chance of lifting some youth silverware when they contest the Midland Floodlit Youth League Cup final against Hednesford.
