Cliftonville Ladies continued their defence of the Irish FA Women's Challenge Cup with an emphatic quarter-final defeat of neighbours Crusaders Strikers.
The Reds will be joined in the last four by Linfield Women, Larne Women and Derry City Women.
Naomi McLaughlin opened the scoring for Cliftonville at Seaview as early as the sixth minute after showing great control on the edge of the six yard box.
Caitlin McGuinness bagged Cliftonville's second midway through the first half after taking the ball past the keeper to tap home before, early in the second half, Marissa Callaghan added a third with a lobbed finish from inside the area.
McGuinness doubled her tally soon after with a deflected near post finish with Aoibhe O'Neill wrapping the scoring up with just over ten minutes remaining.
Across the city Linfield swept to a crushing 5-1 win over Glentoran Women at Midgley Park.
Early goals from Zoe McGlynn and Rhianna Breen fired the Blues into a commanding lead after barely a quarter-of-an-hour had elapsed but Mia Moore pulled one back for Glentoran from around 25 yards to halve the deficit.
Eve Reilly, the league's leading scorer, restored Linfield's two-goal advantage on 51 minutes with strike partner Cora Chambers adding a fourth on 77 minutes. Reilly then grabbed her second of the evening with six minutes remaining.
Larne made the semi-finals for the first time in their history with victory over Ballyclare Comrades Ladies in the East Antrim derby at Dixon Park.
Emily Gilchrist edged the Comrades in front after just ten minutes but this was cancelled out by Hollie Johnston just a few moments after that.
Molly Weir restored home advantage late in the first half, a lead they held until Aimee-Lee Peachey levelled with 20 minutes remaining.
However, two goals in the last ten minutes from Starr Dougherty and Erin Montgomery saw the Premiership side come through to secure the win.
Meanwhile, at the Bluebell Stadium, Derry City hit three unanswered second half goals past Lisburn Ladies to progress.
Ellen McDermott opened the scoring on 50 minutes, with Rihanna Ferris following up seven minutes later. Caoirse Doherty then completed the scoring in stoppage time.
