Cliftonville Ladies, Linfield Women, Derry City Women and Larne Women will all be vying for a place in this year’s Irish FA Women's Challenge Cup final tonight.
The semi-finals of the competition will see the Reds take on Derry City and the Blues battle it out with Larne.
Holders Cliftonville will continue their defence of the trophy against the Candystripes, who lost out at the same stage last season, at Mill Meadow in Castledawson.
And Linfield, who have not reached the decider since 2019, are set to take on the Inver Reds at Dixon Park in Ballyclare. Both games have 7.45 kick-offs.
Cliftonville, who currently lie second in the NIFL Women’s Premiership, reached the semi-finals thanks to an emphatic quarter-final defeat of neighbours Crusaders Strikers by five goals to nil.
Linfield, who have had a strong season in the league and are third in the top flight, also scored five in the last eight. They turned on the style as they beat Glentoran 5-1.
Larne, who have found the going tough in the Premiership this year, made the semi-finals for the first time in their history with a 4-2 victory over Ballyclare Comrades Ladies in the East Antrim derby at Dixon Park.
And Derry City, who are sixth in the eight-team top flight, defeated Lisburn Ladies by three goals to nil to progress to the last four of this season’s Women's Challenge Cup.
Admission for both semi-finals is £5 for adults and £3 for concessions via a cash gate only.
This year’s Irish FA Women’s Challenge Cup final will be played on Saturday 18 October at the Clearer Twist National Stadium at Windsor Park.
