Linfield 4-1 Lisburn Distillery
Mark Dickson scored three and set up another as holders Linfield came from behind to beat Lisburn Distillery in the semi-final of the JJB Irish Cup.
Distillery had led for most of the 90 minutes thanks to Andrew Kilmartin's strike on the quarter hour mark.
However, Dickson ran through to equalise in the 71st minute.
Dickson and Thomas Stewart netted in the first period of extra-time before Dickson followed up on his saved penalty to complete his hat-trick.
If the Belfast Blues beat Dungannon Swifts in the 5 May final they will be the first to complete consecutive league and cup doubles in the Irish League since the 1930s.
Their place in the Irish Cup final looked in doubt when Distillery started well.
James Bell hit the foot of a post with a header before Kilmartin fired the opener for Paul Kirk's men.
Linfield's Glenn Ferguson had a header cleared off the line by Michael Ferguson before the break.
Dickson got Linfield level after a quickly-taken free kick caught Distillery stretched at the back.
That sent the match into extra-time and Linfield showed their strength with three goals.
