The skipper went on to complete his hat-trick, while Homers’ other goals came from David Nicholl (2), David Gibson (2), Alan Rainey and Paul McNeill.

Homers now await the winners of the other semi-final between Fermanagh side Lisbellaw and Windmill Stars from Newry, which takes place tonight (Tuesday).

The final will again take place at Mill Meadow, Castledawson, on Monday, May 5 - just 48 hours after the Ballymena United’s Irish Cup final against Glenavon in what promises to be a remarkable footballing weekend in the borough.
