Irish League outfit, Crusaders defeated Declan Devine's Derry 5-4 in a penalty shootout after a dramatic final ended in a 2-2 draw after extra-time at the Oval.

That match will be aired at 9.15p.m. on Saturday and there will be plenty of other exciting Setanta Cup finales to whet the appetite, starting from tonight when the 2005 final between Linfield and Shelbourne will be screened.
