Clonduff History Bridges quarter of a century 12/12/2007

Clonduff was one of five Ulster Clubs and the only one from Down that took part in the Pilot Scheme for the Award which was officially launched at the Club and Community Development Conference held in The Stormont Hotel on Saturday 20th October.
Club Maíth is a 'Best Practice' award equivalent to the Quality Assurance scheme in industry. The portfolio compiled by the Clonduff committee is a recognition of the effort of the voluntary input - ranging from Committee Members, Coaches, Groundsmen, Cleaners, People who wash Jerseys, Transport Juveniles, etc, etc, etc.
The Conference was attended by the National President of the GAA, Nicky Brennan, Ministers of the NI Assembly, Edwin Poots, Catriona Ruane and Margaret Ritchie along with numerous Croke Park officials and 400 delegates from all over Ulster. In introducing the awards, Ryan Feeney, the Ulster Council representative, said the reason Clonduff merited Platinum was the range of on-field sports (Football, Hurling, Ladies Football and Camogie) together with Handball, Scór and Community involvement that demonstrated that they had that little bit extra to offer.
The Clonduff contingent who attended the conference is pictured with Christy Cooney (Croke Park Games Development Officer), Nicky Brennan (National President of GAA), and Tom Daly (Ulster President).

Clonduff seniors continue the winning run 03/05/2003
Clonduff had a valuable 1 point win at home over An Riocht on Friday night. Following heavy rain over the last couple of days, underfoot conditions were woeful at Hilltown for this Division 1 game in which most of the crowd thought should not have been played because of the state of the pitch.

Clonduff started the better in the second half and an own goal help Clonduff get on top. With minutes remaining Clonduff lead by three points, but An Riocht trough all at the Clonduff defence and if they had, had better forwards would have won the game. Final Score: Clonduff 1-8 An Riocht 1-7.

In the home game against Aughlisnafin Clonduff put on their best display of the year.
