PULLING THE STRINGS: Terenure's Callum Smith

Callum Smith had his fingerprints all over Terenure College's terrific 29-24 bonus point win over defending Energia All-Ireland League champions Clontarf.

It was a rare defeat for Clontarf at Castle Avenue - their first since last November - and leaves Terenure, who are unbeaten after seven rounds, with a seven-point lead at the top of Division 1A.
