Jack McGann bagged a hat-trick for Seacliff with Peter Rosselli (2), and Sam Niizecki also on target.
Celtic’s opponents in the final, New Milton Town were set for a potential championship decider with promotion rivals TX United but, incredibly, United forfeited the game through not being able to field a team.
