Linfield have become the first team to book their place in the final of the Bet McLean Cup final.

The Blues defeated Ballymena United 1-0 in Wednesday night's semi-final thanks to Isaac Baird's first half headed goal.

Coleraine and Glentoran were to meet at the Oval in midweek but their game was postponed because of the weather.

That game has been rescheduled for next Tuesday (February 3), again in Belfast.

However, should Glentoran's ground again fail an inspection, the game will take place at the Coleraine Showgrounds on Wednesday February 4.

The Bet McLean League Cup final will take place at Windsor Park on Sunday March 15.
