Former Donegal player Karl Lacey has guided Kilcoo to their 13th consecutive Down Senior Football final, following a 0-17 to 0-10 triumph over Glenn in their semi-final clash in Newry on Saturday.

The holders were 0-10 to 0-2 in front at half-time and won out by seven in the end as they remain on course for a sixth Frank O’Hare Cup success in-a-row in Lacey's second season in charge.

Kilcoo will face Burren in the final after they overcame Carryduff with a 1-10 to 1-7 victory in Sunday’s other semi-final.

The decider will be a repeat of last year’s final, which Kilcoo won comfortably, 2-12 to 0-9.
