This year's Electric Ireland Women's Challenge Cup final will be a meeting of Belfast rivals Linfield and Glentoran at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.

The Blues are chasing a treble having already lifted the League Cup, and sit on the verge of winning the Premiership.

Glentoran are the most successful side in the history of the Cup with a total of six wins, but their most recent was back in 2012.

The Blues made it to the final after beating the holders Sion Swifts in a semi-final penalty shootout after a game that ended without any goals.

Before that, they smashed Derry City 9-0 in the quarter finals, and took apart Lisburn 12-0 in the 2nd round of the competition.

The Glens enjoyed a much more dominant semi-final, thrashing rivals Cliftonville 5-1, which followed an impressive 6-1 victory over Crusaders in the quarter finals.
