The Sligo Junior Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition contested by lower-tier Sligo GAA clubs.
St Patrick's (formerly Skreen) have the most titles with eight.
Ballymote Round Towers are the title holders (2024) defeating Cloonacool GAA in the Final after a replay.
Honours
The winners of the Sligo Junior Championship qualify to represent their county in the Connacht Junior Club Football Championship. The winners of that in 2018 were Easkey and stalwart Eugene Mullen captained them to that.[1]
St Johns , who won the Junior Title in 1999 also won the Connacht Championship by beating Monivea Abbey in the final in Tuam before the FBD final.
The winners can, in turn, go on to play in the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship. Easkey got to the All-Ireland final in 2019.[2] But they lost to Beaufort when they were there.[3][4][5][6] That was played at Croke Park.[7]
The winners are promoted to the Sligo Intermediate Football Championship for the following year.[8][9]
History
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.
Eamonn O'Hara, one of Sligo's All Star footballers, played in the 2016 final and he scored 2-1 before the first half ended.[10]
