Coleraine's Rory Hamill opened the scoring from the penalty spot
|
Holders Coleraine have reached the Nationwide Irish Cup again by beating Limavady United 3-1 at Ballymena Showgrounds on Saturday.
It is the first time the Bannsiders have reached the decider in successive seasons and they will meet Glentoran, the club they beat in the 2003 final.
A Rory Hamill penalty put Coleraine on their way and the other two goals came from Jody Tolan and Gary Haveron.
Paul Brown's second half goal had briefly given United hope of a revival.
Coleraine took the lead after only five minutes when full-back Martin Nutt's tackle on Tony Gorman led to the penalty.
Hamill confidently netted the spot-kick to give the holders an ideal start.
Seven minutes before half-time they went two up when Tolan raced through to beat Michael Doherty in the Limavady goal.
Limavady, who enjoyed a revival when former Northern Ireland goalkeeper Tommy Wright took over as manager in November, were given hope by a Paul Brown goal on 57 minutes.
But former Lisburn Distilery defender Haveron restored the two-goal gap with Coleraine's third in the 67th minute.
So another appearance in Irish League football's showpiece occasion for manager Marty Quinn.
Now he will be hoping skipper Pat McAllister's appeal against a 15-match ban for a head-butting offence in the quarter-final against Newry will be successful on Wednesday.
"It would be a travesty of justice if Packie was banned for an offence which did not happen," said Quinn.
"But we are pleased to be back in the final. We got off to the ideal start which relaxed us a bit and in the end we won quite comfortably."
