LGFA Titles – JFC

Junior A vs Senior B: The Senior ‘B’ Championship which began in 1990, was changed to Junior ‘A’ Championship from 1998 (same structure, just different name). Hence titles of 1990 to 1997 won as Senior ‘B’ Championship and titles thereafter as Junior ‘A’ Championship are treated alike. In the years prior to 1998, the Senior ‘B’ Championship was contested by teams who exited the Senior ‘A’ Championship at Round 1 or Quarter Final or Semi Final stage. The renamed Junior ‘A’ Championships of 1998 and 1999 continued that same structure. By 2000 the Junior Championship had become a graded competition (i.e. not the offshoot of losing in the Senior Championship, but a competition contested by Junior clubs). Senior ‘B’ Championship re-emerged as a competition name some years later for the two beaten semi-finalists from the Senior ‘A’ Championship playing each other to contest the Senior ‘B’ Championship final against the beaten Senior ‘A’ Championship runner-up. The older Senior ‘B’ Competition has more continuity and association with today’s Junior Championship than the modern manifestation of the Senior ‘B’ Championship, hence all Senior ‘B’ titles from 1990-1997 are regarded as Junior ‘A’ Championship titles and included in that Roll of Honour. 

2006 Note: 2006 Junior final was won by Carrickedmond who beat Mullinalaghta AET in a replay (6-9 to 5-5).

1996 Note: 1996 Junior final (aka Senior ‘B’ Championship final at the time) was played in February 1997.

Missing Records: We have been unable to find any published record of the Senior ‘B’ Championship winners for 1993 & 1994. If you have any information on either of those years winners, or can confirm that there was no winner for any/both of those years, please use the ‘Contact’ section to get in touch. 

Junior B Championship: A restructure of Ladies Championships in 2024 saw the re-introduction of a Junior B Championship competition with the new Theresa McDermott Quinn Cup awarded to the winner. The 2024 Junior B final was contested by St. Helens and Rathcline with St. Helens emerging victorious to win the title. The 2025 Junior B final was contested by Rathcline and Clonguish B with Rathcline emerging victorious to win the title. The winner of the Junior B Championship is promoted to Junior A Championship but does not compete in Leinster Club Championship as there is no suitable option for Junior B.
