Senior Championship Proposals

During the winter of 2011/2012 proposals to change the structure of the Senior Football Championship by increasing the number of teams from 17 to 18 were passed, so that teams will have no byes during the group phase. In the 2012 Senior championship, there will be two groups of 6 teams and one group of 5 teams, however there will be no relegation from the Senior championship at the end of the season and the Intermediate championship winners will be promoted leaving the number of teams at 18 for the 2013 campaign.

Group stage

There are 3 groups called Group A,B and C. The 3 top finishers in Group A and B and the top 2 finishers in Group C will qualify for the quarter-finals. The draw for the group stages of the championship were made on 13 February 2012.
