There would be no replays if the matches were drawn; instead, extra time would decide winners immediately thereafter. If extra time did not decide the winners, a set of five alternating penalty kicks would decide winners. 10 April 200620:05 IST Cork City 2 – 0 https://archive.today/20130127041824/http://irishfootballonline.com/news_story.php?newsid=6391 (Report) Shelbourne O'Brien 34 Fenn 62 Turners Cross, Cork 11 April 200620:05 IST Linfield 0 – 1 (Report) Drogheda United Keddy 33 Windsor Park, Belfast Final Similarly to the semi-finals, there would be no replay even if the match was drawn; instead, extra time would be used to decide the winners.
