Sligo finalise Connacht U20 football panel

Sligo will begin the defence of their Connacht under-20 football championship on March 27th against Roscommon at Markievicz Park.

This year's provincial under-20 championship has a change of format - with all five counties playing four round-robin championship games, instead of a straight knockout competition.

After the round robin phase, the team topping the table goes straight to the final.

The second and third placed teams play a semi-final on Wednesday, April 24th.
