    The holders will start their defence against Championship side Ards.

    Dungannon Swifts manager Rodney McAree: "I'm thankful we got a home draw, but it's a tricky one. We played Ards earlier this season and we overcome them on penalties. We know it's going to be a tough game.

    "It's meant everything to the club. Hopefully we inspire some of the other clubs, who have a similar stature to ourselves, that it can be done. If you win five games and you win the trophy, and I believe we're capable of beating any team in the league."

  3. 'We'll have to do it the hard way'published at 12:50 GMT 9 December

    Coleraine against Crusaders was another big tie. Both sides have had differing fortunes in the league.

    Crusaders manager Declan Caddell: "You're sometimes looking for that bit of luck but today wasn't that day. We'll go there full of confidence. It's a tough draw and Coleraine are flying high, and we'll have to be at our very best. For me, the Irish Cup is a welcome distraction from the league. We'll go in all guns blazing and at the end of it, you're either in it or you are out.

    "Every team wants to get to the final, it's a huge day for the club and the fans. This year if we want to get there it looks like we'll have to do it the hard way."

    Don't forget, Ballymena just dumped Larne out of the BetMcLean Cup last week, so there's a bit of history there.

  5. 'We'll be prepared'published at 12:45 GMT 9 December

    Irish Cup fifth round draw

    Ballymena United v Larne is one of three all-Irish Premiership ties.

    Larne manager Gary Haveron: "It was a cert. I bumped into Jonty when I first arrived and I said we'd end up playing against each other, and that's how it has worked out. It's a tough game for both teams, especially going away to Ballymena as we found out recently. It's one we'll be prepared for."

    Ballymena United assistant manager Barry Johnston: "We couldn't have got a tougher draw. It's a home draw, and I don't want to say too much as Gary will use it in the changing room against me! But we got a home draw and we're happy enough."
