Carrick are through to the final of the Challenge Cup for the first time in their 155-year history after beating Lisburn 3-2 in a sudden death bowl-out.

Middle Road was unplayable, so the teams took part in the shoot-out remotely after Carrick declined the opportunity to switch the match to Wallace Park.

Michael Rippon and Jake Egan struck for Carrick, with Faiz Fazal and Josh Manley replying for Lisburn to leave the score tied at 2-2 after the first five deliveries.

Michael Armstrong (pictured above) was the hero, hitting second time around to secure the 3-2 win and set up a historic first final for his side against Waringstown at Stormont on Friday.
