Looking up a list of winners in the All Ireland Junior Championship.

I noticed in 1977 the British Champions played Cavan in the NFL Division 2 Final.

Did the name of the Junior Championship change for a few years around this time does anyone know?

They used to let NY play in the League Finals in the 1950s and 60s so maybe there was a thing of London being let play in D2 Finals??
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

I was reading the match report of the Cavan win against Lancashire. It said Cavan won the 'home' championship and Lancashire won the 'British' one, which was the same set up as Junior Championship.
