The 2018 Championship will see major changes, with the introduction of Super 8s, and the fact that the entire schedule is being condensed. The GAA have made efforts to aid clubs by leaving the entire month of April free of intercounty action, and informing counties that the club must have full access to players for that month. Writing in his final annual …

With most counties beginning their preparations for the 2018 season, Sligo have finally put a new manager in place ahead of the coming year.

Sligo are hunting for a new football manager after Niall Carew has resigned from the role. Carew has overseen the Yeats County for three years, but will not return in 2018.

There were some heavy hitters in this morning’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship qualifier draw, as the line-up for Round 2A was confirmed.

This weekend sees the opening round of the All-Ireland football qualifiers with four games taking place on Saturday. For a quartet of counties, they will have the dubious honour of being among the first teams knocked out of the championship.

This weekend, the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship gets underway with the Connacht opener between Sligo and New York.
