Latham made it 26 goals in 19 first team fixtures for the Park this season – he has also bagged 26 for the Vets side – with a treble at Queensway Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Captain Rhys Hughes made the early impact for Arran Taylor’s side with goals on 6 and 16 minutes, Nicky Williams and Ryan Kersham with the assists.
Rhostyllen were still in the tie at half time after Martyn Elms pulled a goal back in the 31st minute.
Latham then took centre stage with two goals in the opening four minutes of the second half, Kershaw assisting with the first of those.
In the 75th minute, Latham completed his third hat-trick of the campaign for the first team, making absolutely sure the Park were into the final.
