A late chance for Coleraine to try and grab a consolation goal but Ciaran O'Hara can't get his shot away on the turn and it's blocked away to safety by a Red defender.

That is definitely that as Ronan Hale completes his hat-trick!

Coleraine commit everyone forward searching for the equaliser and that leaves an unlimited amount of space for Hale, who is set away one-on-one by Pepper's lovely side-footed pass, and there's only one outcome as he runs in on Brown!
Adam McKendry
That should be that!

David Odumosu's clearance from the back isn't dealt with by Darren Cole, allowing Hale to nip in, and he shows composure to turn the defender inside and out before coolly slotting past Rory Brown to double Cliftonville's lead!

A dangerous ball into the box from Dean Jarvis is well marshalled by Jonny Addis as it bounces awkwardly and the free-kick goes to Cliftonville as Davy McDaid gets a boot in on the defender as he clears the ball

Added time

We never saw a board go up but we are in added time, so there is some to be added on. I'm going to guess two or three minutes after a couple of injuries during the half.

What. A. Strike!

It's a loose pass at the back from a Coleraine defender that opens up the opportunity, the Reds midfielder seizing on the ball and he only has one thought on his mind when he looks up and he arrows a phenomenal shot into the top corner! Rory Brown had no chance!

Ben Wilson is nearly found in the box by Ronan Doherty's delivery but it just goes over his head, although it's put behind by Steven Lowry so the corner goes to Cliftonville.

Once again, though, Lowry is there to deal with the delivery and this time he clears it away.

The midfielder catches the back of Rory Hale's leg and he goes into the book

Best chance of the game and it comes four minutes into extra-time as Ben Wilson lays it off on the edge of the box for Hale and his thunderous volley is well palmed away by Rory Brown - great save!
