There we are then, the 2017/18 season has drawn to a close with Coleraine lifting the Irish Cup.

What a year it has been for the Bannsiders, from the agony of missing out on the league title last week to the ecstasy of winning the cup for the first time in 15 years. As for Cliftonville, they'll no doubt be back amongst it next season looking to replicate Coleraine in bouncing back and turning a final defeat into a final win the very next season.

There is more local football to come this week in the shape of the semi-finals of the Europa League play-offs, which take place on Wednesday night. Coleraine's win means Glenavon's third place is good enough to see them qualify for next season's Europa League. Meanwhile Cliftonville will have to dust themselves off and prepare to take on Ballymena whilst Linfield play Glentoran in the other tie.

There's full coverage of those games on Radio Ulster along with score updates from the second leg of the Premiership play-off between Carrick Rangers and Newry City.

So commiserations Cliftonville and congratulations Coleraine. Thanks for joining us.

It's a blue and white day.

Coleraine boss Oran Kearney, with children Luca and Ava in his arms, savours his side's Irish Cup triumph.

Aaron Burns is the sixth substitute to score in an Irish Cup final. Each time a sub has scored, their team has gone onto win.

Here's how Eoin Bradley made sure of Coleraine's victory with their third goal in stoppage-time.

The Coleraine players make their way up the steps and the blue and white ribbons have been tied onto the trophy.

Their last loss? November 18. That's oh so impressive. Up goes the trophy, out comes the confetti.

Their sixth Irish Cup triumph, jubilant scenes for Coleraine players and fans.

Coleraine have done it! They are the Irish Cup champions. Despite not being at their best today, few can argue that they don't deserve a major trophy given the season that they have had.

Cliftonville got themselves level through Rory Donnelly having fallen behind to a Darren McCauley stunner. Aaron Burns' 78th minute winner was the decisive moment before Eoin Bradley's late goal sealed it.

The wait goes on for Cliftonville, but it's bliss for the Bannsiders.

Coleraine are the Irish Cup champions. Cue tears from Oran Kearney.

We are into four minutes of stoppage time. Four minutes for the Bannsiders to hold on or four minutes for Cliftonville to find a goal.

Substitute Aaron Burns punishes poor Cliftonville defending to put Coleraine into a 78th-minute 2-1 lead.

Barry Gray has a last throw of the dice, bringing Shane Grimes and Ruairi Harkin on for Garry Breen and Levi Ives.

Garrett stings the hands of Chris Johns from distance but the Coleraine keeper is equal to it.

Cliftonville look for an instant reply again as Gormley gallops down the right and puts in a low cross. Rory Donnelly looks favourite to reach it in the middle but Adam Mullan stretches out a leg to get there first.

Into the final 20 minutes and neither side is dominating. Chris Curran and Joe Gormley have had snap-shots that have been easily dealt with by Chris Johns whilst Eoin Bradley is still happy to run the channels at the other end.

Stephen Garrett comes on for skipper Curran, who passes the armband onto Garry Breen.

Cliftonville responded to going behind by equalising through Rory Donnelly just six minutes later.

See how Darren McCauley's spectacular strike gave Coleraine the lead early in the second half.
