ABOUT the GAA Football Senior Championship

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [References 5-6].

The GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the pinnacle to the Inter-County and GAA Football seasons, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the second half of the GAA Inter-County season, from early April until the September when the All-Ireland finals are played. The format is increasingly complex each year, with the traditional four Provincial Championships preceeding the All-Ireland Championship. [References: 5-8]

Format

There is since 2001 a “Back Door” or Double Elimination system in place whereby Counties defeated prior to the Provincial Finals can re-enter the draw via the All-Ireland Qualifiers, from which four Qualifiers meet the Four Provincial Champions in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals. From the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals onwards there is Single Elimination (Straight Knockout) in place to decide the All-Ireland Champions and the winners of the Sam McGuire Cup. [References: 4, 8]

From 2022 the Tailteann Cup has been introduced, whereby Counties from Roinn’s 3 and 4 exclusively in the GAA National Football Leagues (Divisions 3 and 4) can compete for a “Division 2” Championship and have the realistic chance of winning an All-Ireland Championship. Counties which reach their Provincial Final are excluded from the Tailteann Cup. [References: 4, 8]

ABOUT Ulster GAA FOOTBALL SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [References 5-6].

The GAA All-Ireland Senior Football Championship is the pinnacle to the Inter-County and GAA Football seasons, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the second half of the GAA Inter-County season, from early April until the September when the All-Ireland finals are played. The format is increasingly complex each year, with the traditional four Provincial Championships preceeding the All-Ireland Championship. [References: 5-8]

FORMAT

There is since 2001 a “Back Door” or Double Elimination system in place whereby Counties defeated prior to the Provincial Finals can re-enter the draw via the All-Ireland Qualifiers, from which four Qualifiers meet the Four Provincial Champions in the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals. From the All-Ireland Quarter-Finals onwards there is Single Elimination (Straight Knockout) in place to decide the All-Ireland Champions and the winners of the Sam McGuire Cup. [References: 4, 8]

From 2022 the Tailteann Cup has been introduced, whereby Counties from Roinn’s 3 and 4 exclusively in the GAA National Football Leagues (Divisions 3 and 4) can compete for a “Division 2” Championship and have the realistic chance of winning an All-Ireland Championship. Counties which reach their Provincial Final are excluded from the Tailteann Cup. [References: 4, 8]

Round by Round Reports

Quarter-Finals

Leitrim were made to battle all the way by London after twice going five points ahead, early in the first half through a goal from Ryan O’Rourke and then again early in the second half through. Even though London had fought back to within a point at halftime, the visitors went eight points up early in the second after Donal Wrynn scored Letrim’s third goal. The game looked dead and buried for London at the time, but a gallant comeback was on the cards after two quick goals in succession from Seán Hickey and Fearghal McMahon. The Exiles were just a point down going into injury time with Even Sweeney’s black card compunding the visitiors woes. London were frustrated in the run-in however, with few chances and Leitrim had the last word when O’Rourke got his second goal as Leitrim won by four points in the end. [References: 4]

Sligo won 1-16 to 0-15 points versus New York, but were made to battle all the way. Galway defeated Mayo by a single point (1-14 to 0-16) [References: 2-3]

Semi-Finals

Roscommon defeated Sligo with ease 0-23 to 0-12 and Galway had an even easier victory over Leitrim by 4-20 to 0-9. [References: 2-3]

Final

Galway gained revenge for defeat to Roscommon in the Allianz Football League Division 2 Final, by triumphing over the Rossies by 2-19 to 2-16 in the Connacht GAA Football Senior Championship Final. The margin over victory and total points scored being identical (25 to 22) in both finals. [References: 2-3]

Round by Round Report

Round 1

Scotland got off to a good start, defeating Gloucestershire by 0-13 to 0-12 in Group A, while London beat Warwickshire by six points (3-14 to 3-8). In Group B Lancashire thrashed Yorkshire by 33 points, 6-20 to 0-5. [References: 2]

Round 2

London stamped their authority on Group A by inflicting a heavy defeat on the other county team to have won in Round 1, Scotland – London won by 6-8 to 0-3. The other game in Group A saw Warwickshire win by 2-19 to 0-16 over Gloucestershire, meaning barring a miracle London go through to the Semi-Finals to meet the winners of Group B, along with Scotland and Warwickshire who would most likely meet in the other Semi-Final. The Group B match between Hertfordshire and Lancashire was abandoned due to a medical incident. [References: 2]

Round 3

In Group A London made sure of the Group A title with a 4-12 to 1-7 defeat of Gloucestershire and Warwickshire and Scotland played to a 3-12 to 1-8 victory for Warwickshire knowing the two Counties would meet again in the Semi-Finals. Group B was wide open after Hertfordshire defeated Yorkshire by 6-18 to 0-8 eliminating Yorkshire and meaning the refixture between Hertfordshire and Lancashire set for Watford on the 15th May would decide who would go through to the Semi-Finals to meet London. [References: 2]

Refixture

With Lancashire defeating Hertfordshire by 3-15 to 2-6 the Home Counties side reached the All Britain Intercounty Football Championship Semi-Finals to meet London [References: 2-4]

Semi-Finals

Warwickshire, having defeated Scotland by 3-12 to 1-8 in the Final Round of Group games were awarded a walkover versus the same side in the Semi-Finals after the Scots did not field a team. In the other Semi-Final a gallant Lancashire were defeated 1-4 to 1-12 by London, who now meet Warwickshire in the Final. [References: 2]

Final (28 May 2022)

London triumphed 1-12 to 0-5 over Warwickshire in a one-sided Britain GAA Inter-County Football Championship decider at Ruislip. The Stephen Lynch-led side went on to meet the winners of New York and Kilkenny in the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship Semi-Finals [References: 5]

Round 1 Recap

Limerick got off to a winning start with a 7 point victory over Louth (4-9 to 1-11) in a Shannonside fixture in the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 3 in 2022. Joining them on 2 points after the first Round were Westmeath who had a five point win over Wicklow (1-16 to 2-8) and Laois who triumphed by 5 points also (3-9 to 1-10) in two All-Leinster clashes. The other fixture in Round 1 pitted Fermanagh and Antrim together in an All-Ulster affair, with Antrim prevailing by 9 points (1-14 to 0-8) to go top of the table. Round 1 References: 2-4]

Round 2 Recap

Limerick and Westmeath gained their second wins of the campaign with victories over Antrim (2-9 to 0-11) and Laois (2-11 to 0-11) respectively leaving Antrim and Laois in third and fourth on two points each. The remaing four counties all drew, Longford (0-9) and Louth (1-6) in a low-scoring affair and Wicklow (1-10) and Fermanagh (2-7) also gaining their first points of the season. References: 2-4]

Round 3 Recap

With two games postponed (Fermanagh v Laois and Westmeath v Longford) Antrim took the opportunity to join Westmeath and Limerick on four points at the top of the table with a 2-10 to 1-7 defeat of Wicklow. Limerick’s loss to Louth by two points (1-12 to 1-14) meant they missed the opportunity to go two points clear at the top, and meant Louth got in touch with the leaders on three points. Reference: [2-4]

Round 4 Recap

Limerick took over sole possession of first place with a 1-13 to 1-9 defeat of Wicklow, leaving Wicklow in last place on one point. Antrim could only draw with Laois (1-8 each) as they fell a point behind Limerick on five points. Louth moved into joint second on points with Antrim after a 1-15 to 1-13 victory over Westmeath, which left the Leinster Midland county on four points, one above both Laois and Fermanagh, with the Ulster county gaining a seven point (3-11 to 0-13) win over Longford, who like Wicklow were fighting relegation on one point. Reference: [2-4]

Round 3 Rescheduled Recap

In two rescheduled games from Round 3, Longford shocked Westmeath, gaining their first win of the season against their fellow North Leinstermen, by a score of 0-14 to 0-10. The win put them level on points with Laois after the Portlaoise-based county lost by six points to Fermanagh, who moved up to five points, just a point behind Roinn 3 leaders Limerick. Reference: [2-4]

Round 5 Recap

Six counties were still in contention after round 5, with Antrim leading the way on seven points following a 1-19 to 0-12 defeat of Longford, who were now all but out of the running on three points. Louth joined Antrim on seven points with a 2-12 to 0-14 win at Fermanagh who remained on five points. Westmeath and Limerick were both on six points following Westmeath’s six point win (1-12 to 1-6) over the Treaty County and fellow Shannonsiders. Laois also got into contention with a 1-17 to 0-8 win at Wicklow who remained last on one point. Reference: [2-4]

Round 6 Recap

Roinn 3 was still very open after Round 6 with Louth in first place after a 1-15 to 1-11 defeat of Antrim in a clash of the top two counties. The other three games were extremely close with one point wins for Limerick and Wicklow over Laois and Longford respectively. Limerick’s victory put them in second place on eight points while Wicklow’s victory over Longford saw them move above the midlanders into seventh, with both counties on three points. Laois’s loss dropped them from contention. Meanwhile a draw between Fermanagh and Westmeath left the two counties in mid-table with an outside shot going into the Final Round. [References: 2-4]

Round 7 Recap

Louth defeated Wicklow by seven points to finish top of the league stage in Roinn 3, with Limerick joining the wee county in the Final after a five point win over Fermanagh. Westmeath took third ahead of Antrim after defeating the men from the Glens by five points to finish on nine points, one behind Limerick and two ahead of Antrim. In an important relegation battle Longford defeated Laois by the seven points to finish above the Queen’s County on head-to-head. Wicklow finished last and were relegated [References: 2-4]

Final Recap

Louth won the GAA Allianz Football League Roinn 3 Final with a 1-14 to 0-12 defeat of Limerick. [Results and Fixtures References: 2-4]

ABOUT GAA ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [4-5].

The GAA Allianz Football League is the curtain-raiser to the Inter-County season, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the first half of the GAA Inter-County season, from late January until the beginning of April when the Division finals are played. There are four Divisions, with promotion and relegation between the Divisions as in Soccer.

ABOUT GAA ALLIANZ FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) has its own brand of Football: Gaelic Football or simply GAA Football, in Ireland, played with 15 players per team, and goals worth three points and over-the-bar (points) worth one point (The goals are similar to Rugby but there is a Goalkeeper to prevent goals). It is like a cross between Soccer and Rugby, with players allowed handle the ball, but may not pick it up off the ground without the aid of their feet, and limited running with the ball [4-5].

The GAA Allianz Football League is the curtain-raiser to the Inter-County season, the Elite players representing their Counties as well as Clubs. It usually takes places in the first half of the GAA Inter-County season, from late January until the beginning of April when the Division finals are played. There are four Divisions, with promotion and relegation between the Divisions as in Soccer. Roinn 2 is the second level.
