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.
The Connacht final is scheduled for Saturday, May 4th.
Sligo retain 19 of the squad that famously reached last year’s All-Ireland under-20 final.
