Burns at the double as Blues book Youth Cup final place

Linfield Rangers booked their place in the Harry Cavan Youth Cup final with a two-goal defeat of Portadown U18s at Annagh United's BMG Arena.

The Blues, winners of the competition for three consecutive seasons between 2016/17 and 2018/19, progressed thanks to a couple of first half goals from skipper and man of the match Liam Burns (pictured).

Turning 19 just five days earlier, Burns opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark before doubling up six minutes from the break.

Linfield will face Glentoran in the decider after they accounted for outgoing holders Larne U18 by a single goal last Wednesday night.

The date, venue and kick-off for the final will be announced in due course.
