REIGNING champions Kilcoo and Burren have been kept apart in the semi-final draw of the Down Senior Football Championship.

Kilcoo, now managed by Donegal All-Ireland winner Karl Lacey, were pushed all the way by 12-man Carryduff in the semi-finals.

They’ll face Clonduff in an eagerly awaited clash, a repeat of last season’s quarter-final won by Kilcoo on penalties.

Kilcoo have won the title on 20 occasions and have taken the Frank O’Hare Cup home 10 times in the last 11 seasons, with Burren winners in 2018.

Burren were winners over Ballyholland and now face Glenn in the last four.

Glenn were recently relegated from Division Two.
