Sligo LGFA Adult Football Championships 2026

What to Expect

Sligo LGFA runs its adult club season across three grades at once, the Connacht Gold Senior, Intermediate and Junior A Football Championships, with group-stage rounds continuing through August. On Sunday 9 August, Drumcliffe/Rosses Point meet Coolera/Strandhill in the Senior Championship (10:30am), CT Gaels play Geevagh in the Intermediate Championship (10:00am), and Calry/St Joseph’s take on Eastern Harps in the Junior A Championship (10:30am). These are round-robin group games feeding into county semi-finals and finals later in the season; exact venues and final dates had not been published by Sligo LGFA as of research date, so this listing anchors to the confirmed 9 August round with the wider championship running on beyond it. Expect a club-level atmosphere with players, families and local supporters rather than large crowds, and admission is free or by voluntary gate donation as is standard for county ladies football fixtures.

Sligo LGFA is the county’s ladies Gaelic football board, covering clubs from Drumcliffe in the north to Geevagh and Calry in the south and east. The three adult grades give every club in the county a competitive outlet regardless of playing numbers, with the Senior Championship carrying the county’s representative spot in the following year’s Connacht club series. Group tables and the shape of the knockout stages are published and updated on the Sligo LGFA site as the August rounds are completed, so the fixtures below should be treated as the confirmed opening round rather than the full run of the competition.
