They comfortably defeated the Cefn Druids 4-0 at The Oval on Friday to reach their fifth semi-final.
The Archers reached the final in 1998 as Inter CableTel, winning against Carmarthen Town on penalties.
Met were involved in last season’s semi-final, but lost 3-0 to Connah’s Quay at Latham Park.
The Archers gained revenge on the Nomads by defeating them 2-1 on Saturday to reach their second consecutive semi-final.
