HANNAH TYRRELL struck 1-5 as relentless Dublin crushed Cork to book their place in the TG4 All-Ireland SFC last four.
Tyrrell netted the opening goal on 14 minutes from a penalty at Parnell Park.
Lively corner-forward Kate Sullivan was fouled in the square and the ever-reliable Tyrrell slotted her spot-kick beyond the reach of Cork netminder Sarah Murphy.
That put the hosts five points up, 1-4 to 0-2, in Donnycarney and Cork were unable to find a way back.
And the Jackies wrapped up an impressive 17-point win with two late goals in the space of 60 seconds from Sullivan and the raiding Sinéad Goldrick.
It was St Sylvester’s star Sullivan — fresh from scoring a hat-trick of goals in the group-stage win over Leitrim last month — who got the ball rolling for Dublin with a third-minute point.
Their Leeside counterparts twice levelled matters in the opening quarter courtesy of points from Katie Quirke and Máire O’Callaghan, either side of a Tyrrell effort.
Chloe Darby — drafted into the Dublin team to replace captain Carla Rowe — edged the Jackies back in front with a well-taken score.
Hannah McGinnis split the posts in fine style to make it 0-4 to 0-2 before Tyrrell’s penalty put daylight between the teams.
Nicole Owens extended the lead with a point and despite Laura O’Mahony responding with a fine score at the other end, Dublin reasserted their authority with a close-range free from Tyrrell.
Quirke added her second point just before the interval to make it 1-6 to 0-4, leaving Cork with a mountain to climb against the breeze in the second half.
Quirke did give the Rebels some hope and a fresh impetus with a quick two-point salvo after the break.
But Dublin settled back into their groove with unanswered contributions from Sullivan (two) and her St Sylvester’s clubmate Owens.
Tyrrell also knocked over a free after a short Cork kick-out went astray.
And the former Ireland rugby star added her second score from play moments later to put the Jackies eight points in front, 1-11 to 0-6, at the beginning of the final quarter. It had all the appearance of an unassailable cushion, but Dublin never relented.
They added further points through the boots of Niamh Hetherton (two) and Tyrrell before Cork attacker Quirke bagged her fifth point of the day.
The late goals from Sullivan and Goldrick were followed by a last-minute point from substitute Laura Grendon.
