Two individual moments of brilliance in 14 first-half minutes earned Northampton a 1-0 win and a place in the npower League Two play-off final against Bradford at Wembley.
First goalkeeper and man of the match Lee Nicholls kept their 1-0 lead from Thursday's first leg intact with a fine save to keep out Marlon Pack's 14th-minute penalty before a long-range thunderbolt from Luke Guttridge put them in control.
And despite Cheltenham's best efforts, they never really threatened a memorable comeback until Kaid Mohamed's header crashed off the crossbar with 14 minutes remaining as the visitors registered a 2-0 aggregate victory and with it, moved a step closer to a return to the third tier after four seasons.
