Lisburn Distillery avoided the pitfall of previous seasons, losing to junior opposition, and progressed to the semi-finals thanks to a solid workmanlike performance and a Darren Armour hat-trick.

On eight minutes Paul Muir's glancing header was wide of the mark, but inside a minute the Whites were in front.Running on to a forward header from Damien McLaughlin, Darren Armour sent a volley beyond the outstretched arm of Tony Miskelly.

With 16 minutes gone, Andy Kilmartin went off through injury and sub James Bell, who was to play an important role in the Whites' second goal, came on.

Dundela though were level first of all though on 23 minutes, Glenn Dougherty was clipped by Wayne Buchanan, and Stephen Gourley fired the penalty beyond Phil Matthew's dive.

The home side then racked up a host of chances, but it wasn't until the 40th minute that the ball ended up in the Dundela net. Bell disposessed a defender and his pass fell perfectly for Darren Armour to run onto and fire across the goal and into the corner.

In stoppage time the Whites had a bit of a let-off, David Officer getting in behind the defence but he fired wide.The first half action wasn't finished though and when Francis Murphy was upended Armour bagged his hat-trick, sending the penalty top left into the goal.

Matthews Burrows fired wide for the visitors after the break and Ryan McCann saw Miskelly fumble his shot on the line.The Duns had a possession for a short spell before the Whites dominated again and McLaughlin saw his header bounce of the bar.

Matthews was across to save David Muphy's 30-yard effort but that was the closest the East Belfast side came, an upset was never on the cards and the Whites were through to the semi-finals of the Shield.
