# 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.

## History
### Teams

* Today seven teams play in the competition - Calry/St. Josephs, Coolera/Standhill, Easkey, Naomh Eoin, Naomh Molaise Gaels, Tourlestrane and Western Gaels.

## Format
### Group stage

The 7 clubs are divided into a group of four and a group of three. Over the course of the group stage, each team plays once against the others in the group, resulting in each team being guaranteed two group games. Two points are awarded for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss. The teams are ranked in the group stage table by points gained, then scoring difference and then their head-to-head record. The top two teams in each group qualify for the semi-finals.

### Knockout stage

Semi-finals: The 2 group winners and 2 group runners-up contest this round. A group winner will play a group runner-up of another group. The two winners from these two games advance to the final.
Final: The two semi-final winners contest the final. The winning team are declared champions.

### Qualification

At the end of the championship, the winning team qualify to the subsequent Connacht Junior Club Hurling Championship.
