Matt Smith headed Jordan Copp's corner against the bar as the Robins started brightly but the visitors went ahead in the 17th minute when Ryan O'Toole went through on goal and slid the ball under Frome keeper Darren Chitty.
The hosts levelled the scores 11 minutes later when Copp cut inside from Bryant's pass and set up Matt Clark, who beat the defender and found the net from 20 yards in only his second game for Frome since signing on loan from Salisbury City.

The turnaround was complete five minutes later as a great move involving Copp, Clark, Smith and Luke Ballinger allowed Bryant to open his account for the Robins.
Slough always looked dangerous in the first half and were unlucky in the 42nd minute when O’Toole’s 25-yard free-kick came back off the underside of the bar and appeared to cross the line, but the goal was not given.
After the break, Frome had chances to add to their lead as Ballinger's shot was deflected wide at the end of a good run, while Smith fired over after being set up by Rob Hobbs.
Lloyd Matthews replaced the impressive Bryant for the final ten minutes and twice went through on goal but could not take advantage.
Ballinger also had a chance for a third late on as the Robins comfortably sealed their place in the final against fellow Premier Division side Arlesey Town.
Frome return to league action with a crucial clash at home to relegation rivals Hitchin Town on Saturday (3pm).
