Tipperary made it two from two by accounting for Dublin 0-14 to 0-8, in their Camogie League Division 1 Group 2 clash, to set up a winner-takes-all clash with Galway for a place in the final on March 3.
Dublin had former long-time Tipp goalie Rosie Kenneally between the posts, although the one-time Drom & Inch custodian was denied a return to her local parish as the venue changed from The Ragg to Bansha.
The home team had a 0-7 to 0-5 lead at the change of ends, Cáit Devane doing most of the scoring, including the last two points of the opening half, after Dublin had drawn level thanks to scores from Niamh Gannon and Leah Butler.
Points from Martha O’Donoghue and Caragh Dawson brought the Dubs to within one with 10 minutes left but they failed to score again, while Devane and Róisín Howard raised white flags for Bill Mullaney’s unit to ensure the win.
