Hamilton Parish thumped Ireland Rangers 5-2 to book a place in the final of the First Division Shield on Tuesday night.

Goalless at the break, the game came alive in the second period.

Two penalties from Damon Edwards (45, 55 mins) set Parish on their way and Lorenzo Simmons and Desmond Crockwell made it 4-0 after 67 minutes.

However, Rangers staged a late rally and scored twice in two minutes through Mathyio Simons (85) and Jonathan Bean (87).

But there was to be no great escape and Clevon Hill's 90th minute strike was the icing on the cake for Parish.
