Connacht U20 and U17 championships 2026

They may give the Rhubarbs the Cup now and give winners of Ros/Galway a Shield.

Yup can't see the winner of Galway Roscommon pulling off a shock in the final.

Final two group games of the U17 championship starting at 7pm.  Roscommon already into the final.  2nd and 3rd into the semi final



Half time
Mayo 0-8 Galway 0-6
Leitrim 0-8 Sligo 1-7

Results
Mayo 1-12 Galway 2-10

Sligo at home to Galway in the semi final

Sligo ahead by 17 looks like Sligo and Galway in the semi

Thankfully Galway got the job done even though losing would have been the same to them unless they got thumped.

Commentators said a neutral venue for semi final? I'm not sure how it works. A welcome boost. Has been a tight championship with exception of Leitrim who will be decent next year.

Well done Sligo, the one point win against Mayo last weekend proved key.

It's neutral venues for Connacht U20 semi-final and final.  For U17 it's the opposite of the venue from the group stage matches.

So Sligo will play Galway in Tubbercurry or Markievicz Park.

Can they not have the same for both grades,?

Can they not have the same for both grades,?

Surely the team that finishes above the other in the table should get home advantage?
That is always the way in any club championship I've ever been involved in where 2nd plays 3rd in a semi final.
The top team (rightly) gets rewarded with a passage straight through to the final so 2nd should be rewarded with semi final home advantage for finishing above the 3rd team.

U17 Semi Final between Sligo and Galway will take place in Kilcoyne Park, Tubbercurry at 6.30pm on Friday May 1st.   Extra time and penalties if necessary.
