Sligo Junior Football Championship
Encyclopedia
The Sligo Junior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association
club competition between the lower-tier Sligo teams, at present composed entirely of reserve teams from the various clubs in the county. The winners of the Sligo Junior Championship qualify to represent the county in the Connacht Junior Club Football Championship
and in turn, go on to the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship
.
In 2009 the Junior Championship was restructured. For the first time since 2001 there would be two championships, A and B. The A Championship was made up of the semi-finalists in 2008 and relegated teams from the Intermediate Championship. The winner of the A Championship is promoted to Intermediate football. The relegated teams from Intermediate drop down to Junior A and in 2009 three teams were relegated. The B Championship was run on a knockout basis with nine teams entering. The winner of the B Championship is promoted to A for the following year.
