Smith has Republic firing
The first half was a cagey affair with both keepers having very little to do and both defences well on top.
The second half saw both managers make a number of changes and this resulted in the Republic gaining the upper hand, with Keith Nibbs and Gary Rooney impressing in the middle.
On 61 minutes Shane Clarke of Janesboro got the final touch from a long pass to put the home side in front.
The Republic went two up on 72 minutes when Kilbarrack’s Mark Townley fired in from close range after the North failed to clear a corner.
Smith will now turn his thoughts to the Umbro Quadrangular Tournament in September were his junior selection will compete against Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man.
