So Linfield confirm their position back at the top of the tree in local football by securing a third trophy of the season - the Irish Cup joining the Gibson Cup for winning the Irish Premiership, and the County Antrim Shield in the Windsor Park trophy cabinet.
We hope you enjoyed our coverage of the 2017 Irish Cup final and keep an eye on the BBC Sport NI website for highlights of today's decider.
The Europa League play-offs and the promotion-relegation play-off are still to come but today belongs to Linfield - their match-winner Andrew Waterworth, manager David Healy, all the players, staff, officials and supporters.
A record 43rd Irish Cup victory to enjoy.
Bye for now and thanks for joining us.

I thought we started well but we struggled to keep possession of the ball after that. Congratulations to Linfield though. We couldn't cope with them for a 20-minute spell in the first half. A goal in the second half could have dragged us back into it but it wasn't to be.

Coleraine 0-3 Linfield
The celebrations are in full swing at Windsor Park.
The cup has been handed over and the players and staff are out on the pitch parading the trophy and taking the acclaim of their fans, who have unusually been somewhat success starved in recent years.
That's eight wins in nine Irish Cup finals for the Blues now and they will hope to build on their successes now by claiming more trophies next season.

BBC Sport at Windsor Park
A champagne occasion for Linfield as they celebrate a convincing cup final victory over Coleraine whose dejected players are applauding their fans down at the old Kop end. The celebrations are about to start for Linfield after a sensational second half of the season - now unbeaten in 20 matches. Hat-trick hero Andrew Waterworth will be the toast of Windsor tonight - but the striker’s party doesn’t stop here. Next weekend he’s off with Linfield team-mates and other pals for his own stag celebrations in Malaga!

This final was all about redeeming ourselves after we underperformed this time last year. I thought we were by far the better side and deserved winners today, it was a good performance from us. I'm so privileged to be manager of this club and work with the calibre of players that I have.

This is very, very special. We knew we had to perform to our highest standard to overcome a good Coleraine side. We hit the ground running in the first half and learnt from the disappointments of last season. We have gone on an incredible run and the squad has confidence in abundance at the moment.

It's been a long five years for Linfield but I'm delighted for everyone associated with the club. Hopefully we can kick on from here. I feel on top of the world. Three trophies in one season, I've dreamt of this for a long time.

Linfield run out comfortable and deserved winners. A commanding performance from David Healy's side to complete a thrilling season for the Belfast Blues.
A league and cup double for the club's supporters to savour for the first time since 2012.
And the County Antrim Shield to boot. Three trophies in the Windsor Park cabinet and their trophy drought is banished to the history books.

Andrew Waterworth slots home to complete his hat-trick after meeting Paul Smyth's cut-back from the right with three minutes remaining.

Coleraine may as well have a go here. If you end up losing, you should at least have the consolation of knowing that you gave it everything.
