Sligo Senior Hurling Championship


The Sligo Senior Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Sligo GAA among the top hurling clubs in County Sligo. The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Connacht Junior Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Junior Club Hurling Championship. Previously, the winners used to compete in the Connacht Senior Club Hurling Championship but were very unsuccessful at that level.

Roll of honour

Current format and teams

Today six teams play in the competition - Coolera/Standhill, Carly/St. Josephs, Western Gaels, Tourlestrane, Naoimh Eoin and Easkey Sea Blues. Craobh Rua were a team from Sligo town, but today the town now has two teams, Calry/St. Joseph's and Naoimh Eoin. Several amalgamations of hurling teams in Sligo have happened over the years. Tubbercurry, Curry and Coolaney/Mullinabreena all play under Tourlestrane. St. Farnan's play under Easkey Sea Blues or Western Gaels. Western Gaels comprise Enniscrone/Kilglass and Castleconnor. Drumcliffe/Rosses Point and St Molaise Gaels play under Carly/St. Josephs.
The competition is played in a group format with all teams playing each other and the top four qualifying for the semi-finals.
