On the resumption, a terrific individual run by Caitlin Kennedy was well rewarded with Tipperary’s first score after 21 minutes of play. A minute later, Tipperary had their second, Roisin Howard splitting the posts from wide on the left.
With defences on top, scores were at a premium in the opening half while the post also denied Aherne. The resultant 45’ was palmed into the path of Aherne by McEvoy and the captain added to Dublin’s tally.
McEvoy added her second a minute later before the highlight of the half arrived when Killeen raised the only green flag of the opening 30 minutes, following some excellent play by McEvoy in the build up.
Dublin were 1-7 to 0-3 clear at the break and also got the better start in the second half, Niamh Hetherton and Aherne (2) pointing, while Tyrrell added her third free. Tipperary were running at the Dublin defence but it stood resolute with Niamh Collins marking her first game of the season with a solid display.
As a myriad of substitutions rolled in, Dublin’s points tally increased. Substitute Michelle Davoren split the posts before Hannah O’Neill’s rasping effort rebounded off the crossbar. O’Connor was first to the loose ball to ensure it finished to the net.
The outstanding O’Connor added a late point, but the four-in-a-row All-Ireland champions will have to wait until tomorrow before finding out their semi final opposition.
