Carryduff v Clonduff LIVE score updates as Daniel Guinness goal gives the south Belfast men a narrow lead at half-time

One team will lose their undefeated record in Páirc Esler this evening and one team’s aspirations of lifting the Frank O’Hare Cup in a fortnight will remain alive as Carryduff take on Clonduff for a place in the Down SFC final.

The south Belfast men have never won a senior crown having lost out to perennial champions Kilcoo in the 2020 and 2025 deciders.

On both occasions, Carryduff will feel like they didn’t do themselves justice.

Yet, they recorded a statement win over the Magpies in Round Two before defeating Saul in the quarter-finals.

Clonduff won the last of their nine county title back in 2000 and were last in the Down SFC final 10 years when they too lost to Kilcoo.

The Yellas claimed a facile 12-point win over Burren in round two and had 15 points to spare over Mayobridge last time out.

Clonduff bowed out at this stage in the competition last season, suffering a one-point loss to Kilcoo, but Gearoid Adams’s side have been the in-form team in this year’s renewal so far.

The holders will take on Burren in the second semi-final on Sunday evening in Newry.

We’ll have all the latest team news ahead of throw-in at 7.30pm.
