Kilmacud Crokes and champions Cuala will face off in the Dublin SHC final following their respective semi-final wins over O'Toole's and Lucan Sarsfields at Parnell Park.

Oisin O'Rorke and Ross O'Carroll bagged first half goals as Crokes cruised to a 2-19 to 0-13 victory over O'Toole's in the opening game. Ollie Baker's charges led by 2-10 to 0-7 at the break and with O'Rorke helping himself to 1-11 and Ryan O'Dwyer also chipping in with a couple of points, the result was never in doubt.

Cuala were made work hard for their 0-13 to 0-7 win over Lucan Sarsfields. The Dalkey men, for whom David Treacy converted eight placed balls, led by 0-6 to 0-3 at the break and sealed victory with late points from Treacy (two frees), Sean Moran and Dublin footballer Con O'Callaghan.

The all-southside final will take place in Parnell Park on Saturday, October 29 with the winners facing the Laois champions in the Leinster club SHC on Sunday, November 6.
