Cliftonville, Coleraine, and Dungannon Swifts all secured Irish Cup semi-final berths on Saturday, joining Larne in the last four. Dungannon Swifts continued their title defense with a 3-0 victory over H&W Welders, while Cliftonville and Coleraine also advanced with identical scorelines against Championship opposition.

Cliftonville's Keevan Hawthorne, Shaun Leppard, and Liam McStravick found the net at Lakeview Park, maintaining their push for a third consecutive final. Coleraine's Joel Cooper and Matthew Shevlin sealed their 2-0 win over Limavady United at the Showgrounds, with Cooper scoring his 20th goal of the season before setting up Shevlin's 19th.

Larne completed the semi-final lineup after defeating Glentoran in a penalty shootout following a 1-1 draw on Friday. The draw paired Cliftonville against Dungannon in a repeat of last year's final, while Coleraine will face Larne. All ties will be played at neutral venues on April 3-4.
