REIGNING county champions Kilcoo will continue their search for their sixth Down SFC title in a row with a quarter-final against Mayobridge.

The Magpies have had a fairly conventional route to the knock-outs so far, with wins against Loughinisland and Clonduff paving the way for the 21-time county champions.

Elsewhere in the quarter-final draw, last year’s beaten finalists Burren will play Bredagh, Carryduff host Ballyholland and Bryansford play Glenn after John Martin’s saw off Clonduff.
