Larne will host Glenn Ferguson’s Ballymena United in the last four of the County Antrim Shield.

The two teams last met in the summer when the Inver Reds emerged as 4-3 winners in a pre-season friendly.

Larne last made the semi-finals of the County Antrim Shield nine years ago when the Sky Blues won 3-0, thanks to a hat-trick from Kevin Kelbie.

In the other half of the draw, Carrick Rangers will Linfield.

The tie is scheduled be played on Tuesday, December 1.
