Diarmuid Connolly kicked five superb points from play to leave AIB Leinster club champions St Vincent's on the verge of a three-in-a-row of Dublin SFC titles.
Sam Maguire winner Connolly impressed at Parnell Park where Tommy Conroy's side overcome Na Fianna by 0-22 to 2-09 to secure a place in next weekend's county final.
That tie will take place at Parnell Park at 4pm and the holders' opponents will be Ballyboden St Enda's who are through to a first decider since last winning the title in 2009.
St Vincent's 0-22 Na Fianna 2-09
Vincent's will go into the final as strong favourites to progress after another typically clinically display that saw them in pole position throughout after moving 0-6 to 0-1 clear early on.
Na Fianna did pull back 1-1 through Adam Caffrey late in the first-half, the goal a palmed effort following Conor McHugh's clever ball across, but Vins took a deserved 0-12 to 1-3 lead into the interval.
All of their forwards had found the mark by the 16th minute and it was hard to see how Na Fianna might rescue the game.
Jack and Adam Caffrey did register points in the third quarter and the Glasnevin side, the last team in Dublin to win three-in-a-row, clawed back a second goal through sub Odhran O Maoleidigh with 10 minutes remaining.
But Vincent's had picked off their points with ease throughout the second-half to ensure that there was always clear daylight between the sides.
Connolly kicked some stunning scores, the best of which came when he split the posts from way out on the left wing after chipping the ball up to himself while running at speed.
Substitute Joe Feeney scored three points after being sprung from the bench with 24 minutes to go and put forward a pressing case for inclusion against 'Boden next Sunday.
Ruairi Trainor scored four points for Vins too though the team's concession of two goals for the second game running may concern manager Conroy.
"It was far from straight forward or comfortable," said Conroy of the win. "Na Fianna are a very good side and they caused us a lot of problems when the ball was played in quickly. As I told them in their dressing-room, we're just delighted to be back in a county final.
"I don't think it was really easy for us until the last five or six minutes of the game. They made two or three goal chances in the last quarter that Michael Savage had to pull off some great saves from to deny them."
The earlier semi-final was much tighter as Ballyboden conjured late points from Andrew Kerin and David O'Callaghan to see off Clontarf by 0-12 to 0-10.
Clontarf 0-10 Ballyboden St Enda's 0-12
Ballyboden were priced at 1/16 to advance beyond a Clontarf side chasing a first final place since 1985 but it was the Jack McCaffrey inspired north-side outfit that surprisingly led for long spells.
Clontarf fell 0-4 to 0-1 down initially but roared back with five points on the trot and were tied at half-time, 0-6 to 0-6.
Ballyboden had to battle for over half the game without county star Michael Darragh Macauley. The 2013 Footballer of the Year was dismissed late in the first-half after picking up a black card having earlier been booked, resulting in a red card.
McCaffrey was excellent, scoring a point early in the second-half but doing his best work in Clontarf's defence. The Noel McCaffrey managed outfit led 0-09 to 0-07 with 18 minutes remaining and held a one-point advantage with five minutes to go.
But their inexperience told as they wasted several opportunities to move significantly ahead and Ballyboden capitalised with the last three points of the game.
Free-taker Kerin, their top scorer with seven points, scored two of them though the introduction of O'Callaghan, a county hurling star, was important as he won one of those late frees that Kerin converted before fisting over the game's last point himself.
