Na Fianna are just 60 minutes away from completing a three-in-a-row of Dublin SHC titles after overcoming Kilmacud Crokes by 2-22 to 0-17 in yesterday's semi-final.

The reigning Leinster and All-Ireland champions needed goals from AJ Murphy and Brian Ryan in the 50th and 52nd minutes to see off their Stillorgan opponents in what was a repeat of last year's decider. The sides were level at 0-10 apiece at half-time before Aidan Downes’ charges found an extra gear down the home straight to reach their fifth successive county final.

Lucan Sarsfields will provide the final opposition for Na Fianna on Saturday week after Ben Coffey fired 1-11 in a 1-21 to 1-17 win over Ballyboden St Enda's in the other last-four tie at Parnell Park.

A dominant first half performance, at the end of which they led 0-16 to 0-7, paved the way for Lucan's first final appearance since 2013.

A Darragh Kenny penalty brought 'Boden back into it just after the restart, but they couldn't regain parity as a Coffey major from a penalty sealed a long-overdue semi-final victory for Charlie Carter's men.
