This is a round-up of the 2005 Sligo Senior Football Championship. The year saw Coolera, who had suffered two agonising final defeats earlier in the decade, finally end their long wait for Championship glory, stretching back to 1907. They defeated Curry in the final, who had disposed of holders Tourlestrane after a Semi-Final replay. No team was relegated in 2005, in order to bring the number of competing teams up to 16 in 2006.

[edit] Playoffs
Only one group required a playoff. In Group A Calry/St. Joseph's, Bunninadden and Tubbercurry all finished level on points, with Calry/St. Joseph's gaining top spot on scoring difference. Bunninadden and Tubbercurry met in the playoff, and it was Tubber who were victorious, as they had been in the earlier group meeting. This was the fifth year in succession that Bunninadden had not reached the knockout stages, going back to their 2000 title victory.

[edit] Quarter Finals
The quarter finals of the Championship saw the exit of Calry/St. Joseph's, Tubbercurry, Easkey and Drumcliffe/Rosses Point. Curry, Coolera/Strandhill, Tourlestrane and Eastern Harps qualified for the semi-finals. The Tourlestrane/Easkey proved a bizarre affair, with Easkey failing to score for over forty minutes. By then Tourlestrane had racked up 2-10 and were preparing for the Semi-Finals.
