Sligo Intermediate Football Championship 2008

This is a round-up of the 2008 Sligo Intermediate Football Championship. St. Molaise Gaels were crowned champions for the fourth time, the first under The New name, after a replayed final victory over 2005 champions Coolaney/Mullinabreena.

Group Stages

The Championship was contested by 13 teams, divided into four groups. The top two sides in each group advanced to the Quarter-Finals, with the remaining sides in each group facing the Relegation playoffs to retain Intermediate status for 2009, as the restructuring of the Championships got under way.
