Management:

Paddy Doherty, DJ Morgan, Danny McConnell, Cathal Murray and Shane O’Neill.

Championship programme:

Down SFC round one

Carryduff v Clonduff

Team news:

Carryduff are preparing for their third year at Senior Championship level and they really don’t look out of place. Managed to get out of Division Two last season too, so the signs are good that they can turn their u-21 success into something tangible. Were unlucky to lose to Clonduff in last year’s quarter-final, and they should be close again. The addition of Cathal Murray to the management team appears a shrewd move, especially as he is a Hilltown native who may have some inside knowledge. Conor McCullough, Joe McFlynn and Daniel Coogan are all on the injured list but Seamus McCann, Michael McGrath and Jamie O’Reilly have all returned from Australia. Josh Connery is captain and Daniel Guinness is vice-captain.
