MacUidhir brought Uibh Laoire back into it with five unanswered points, but Ballyclough struck again—Damien Buckley and Sean O’Leary raising green flags to lead 3-4 to 0-8 at half-time.
MacUidhir’s second-half goal from a long-range free and consistent scoring drew the sides level before he edged Uibh Laoire ahead late on.
