Clonduff v Glenn (Sunday, Mayobridge, 3pm)

AFTER their loss to Kilcoo last time out, Clonduff look to get back on track and book a place in the quarter-finals of the Down championship tomorrow.

The Yellas will hope that Stephen McConville can pop up with a moment of magic like he did early on against Kilcoo. His goal gave the Hilltown side a sniff of an upset but they were four points short at the end, losing 2-9 to 1-8.

Glenn, who were surprise semi-finalists last season, will want to keep their hopes alive after sending Castlewellan out in round two.

After a tight and ill-tempered game that saw a total of three red cards between the sides, Glenn ran out 2-7 to 0-9 winners.

The two remaining round-three games take place on Monday, with Loughinisland facing Bredagh in Kilcoo (7.30pm) and Mayobridge and Liatroim meeting in Dundrum (7.15pm)
