The talking is done and the preparations have been completed as Linfield and Cliftonville prepare for this year’s Irish Cup final.

Cliftonville will hope to win the Cup for the first time since 1979, whilst Linfield will hope to add more success to the trophy cabinet after their BetMcLean Cup success against Portadown back in March.

It will only be the third time in history that the two teams will compete against each other in the showpiece decider.

Both teams arrived at a wet Windsor Park earlier this afternoon ahead of today’s 2:30pm kick-off.
