The Andie Adams coached boys moved into a commanding lead through tries from centre Leon Gallagher and second row Lennon Doyle and the accurate place-kicking of full-back Oliver Perrem.
Templeogue stayed in the hunt from their number eight Joseph Keane’s try and a penalty by centre Daniel Ryan to trail 17-8 at the break.
The most crucial score came midway through the second period when flanker Finn Sunderman drove home Newpark’s territorial advantage for Perrem to convert for 24-8 in the 46th minute.
Replacement Sam Turner made an immediate impact for the fourth and final try to seal a place in the second round.
At Donnybrook – Newpark Comprehensive 29 (F Sunderman, L Doyle, L Gallagher, S Turner try each; O Perrem pen, 3 cons); Templeogue College 8 (J Keane try; D Ryan pen).
