Crossmolina 3-10 Dunshaughlin 1-12
In the end class shone through as a Kieran McDonald-inspired Crossmolina booked their place in the All-Ireland club final on St Patrick's Day.
In a real tale of two halves 14-man Dunshaughlin threw the towel in as Crossmolina notched up 2-5 to 0-4 in the second half to run out convincing winners.
Dunshaughlin led by 1-8 to 1-5 at the break. But without their Meath talisman Niall Kelly, sent off after 21 minutes, they were not at the races in the second half.
Michael Moyles kicked a superb goal for Crossmolina straight after the restart and it was all downhill for the Meath side after that as McDonald, Liam Moffett and Ger O'Malley putting an end to their All-Ireland fairytale.
