Irish Cup reaches the last four this weekend

Football's Irish Cup semi-finals begin on Friday night.

Irish Premiership leaders Larne face last year's beaten finalists Ballymena United at Seaview on Friday night.

Larne are looking to make their second showpiece in three years.

On Saturday afternoon, attention will switch to Mourneview Park. That is where holders Crusaders will continue their defence of the trophy when they take on Dungannon Swifts.
