TG4 Intermediate Semi-finalists in the previous four years, Sligo lost all three of their Championship games and their five Lidl National Football League Division 3 outings. Across those eight games, their scoring difference was -127 points, including a cruel 7-18 to 0-2 loss to Clare in their final game of the season.
But with Covid-19 tearing through the country, the National Leagues were halted after five rounds, while the redrawn Championship structures meant there would be no relegation from the Senior or Intermediate competitions.
