However Terenure finished the half strongly with Eddie Bohan and Oisin Quinn scoring while Louchlann Wardick was also on target.

Our Lady’s corner back Thomas Abon impressed for the winners as did Thomas Costello, Harry O’Leary and Harry Ennis.

O’Leary worked hard at midfield for Terenure but at the other end Clonburris piled on the pressure with Morgan Friery, Adam Hanly and midfielder Jack Kelly finding the target.

Clonburris keeper Jack Kelly pulled off a couple of fine saves while Gallagher, Kelly and Bohan put in solid performances.
