The defending champions were Carrick Rangers after they defeated Linfield 2–1 in the 1975–76 final - one of the biggest shocks in the Cup's history.[1] However, this season they went out in the first round to eventual winners Coleraine, who defeated Linfield 4–1 in the final to condemn the Blues to defeat in the Irish Cup final for the third successive season (a record that still stands), and the fourth time in five years. It was a repeat of the 1974–75 final two years earlier, which was also won by Coleraine.[2]

Final

gollark: I read somewhere that plants work more efficiently if you can tightly control the frequency of light you feed to them, and the duty cycle and stuff.
gollark: Just make your solar panels 200% efficient, silly.
gollark: Ideally, nuclear if people weren't bees.
gollark: I was envisioning electric ones here, but I don't know if they'd be cheaper.
