Sligo Senior Football Championship 1985

Sligo Senior Football Championship 1985
Sligo Champions St. Mary's (7th win)
Winning Captain John Kent
Relegated team(s) Geevagh
Promoted team(s) Shamrock Gaels

This is a round-up of the 1985 Sligo Senior Football Championship. St. Mary's completed their second hat-trick of titles in a seven-year period in this year, and once again Tubbercurry were the beaten finalists. This year's final was unique, as it required three games to decide the issue, and the latter game proved to be a bad-tempered affair, with four Tubbercurry players sent off in the closing minutes. This year's Championship also saw the entry of numerous amalgamations, as the Championship was opened up to Intermediate and Junior clubs to enter their combined resources, but this couldn't prevent a repeat of the outcome of previous years.
