Coleraine hold their nerve to win a breathless final.

Ultimately their quality at the front end of the pitch told, with Matthew Shevlin and Joel Cooper inspiring them to victory.

The seventh Irish Cup win also brings the bonus of going into the second round of the Uefa Conference League qualifying.

Glentoran fans will be happy as they also go into Conference League qualifying as a result of the Bannsiders' victory.

It is exactly a year since Ruaidhri Higgins was appointed as boss of Coleraine and what a year it has been.

I wonder when he was appointed did he think a year later he would be celebrating on the pitch after his side won the Irish Cup final.

What a final we were treated to today.

Andrew Mitchell's cross/shot is collected by Ryan Schofield, which is met by huge cheers from the Coleraine fans.

If my clock is right, we are into the final 10 seconds of the added seven now.

For me Joel Cooper was the player of the match. He was absolutely outstanding and was Coleraine's talisman. He was at the heart of everything they did today.

Coleraine have taken the ball to the corner and Dungannon are really struggling to win back possession.

Joel Cooper goes in search of his second of the day, but Dungannon clear their lines eventually.

A few niggly tackles in the last couple of minutes has hindered Dungannon's ability to push up the pitch.

Coleraine will be delighted with how additional time has gone so far as it has been very stop-start.

The Dungannon fans are certainly happy with the amount of additional time to come.

Can Rodney McAree's side find a third goal?

SEVEN minutes of additional time to come.

I think I am going to need a lie down after this match!

Dungannon Swifts 2-3 Coleraine

There is a stoppage in play here after a clash of heads as Dungannon pushed for an equaliser.

The attendance this afternoon has just been announced as 11,362.

It has been a great atmosphere here and they have been treated to a superb game.

James Knowles replaces Leo Alves for the final few minutes of the 90.

Watch how Andrew Mitchell netted to set up an exciting finish to this year's Irish Cup final.

Will Patching is the latest to have a go, but his effort is easily gathered by Declan Dunne.

Another Coleraine goal would really settle the nerves of the boisterous Bannsiders support.

Will there be late drama or will the score remain the same?

Get your thoughts in using the 'Get Involved' icon.

Joel Cooper tries to create a goal from 30-yards that would go down in the history books as a 'great cup final strike', but his effort lacks the power needed and is off target.

Corey Smith is the latest player to be cautioned.

As expected, plenty of heavy enough challenges today.

Both sets of fans are going to be crucial in the final 10 minutes of this match.

Can the Swifts find a leveller or will Coleraine hold on?
