Format structure change

edit

Eight club teams and eight divisional teams (16 in total) will take part in the 2022 S.F.C.

The 16 teams are divided into four mini-leagues of four teams. Each team plays three matches and the top two teams will progress to the quarterfinals

Kenmare District did not field a team for this S.F.C.

Relegation (See below): The club team to be relegated from the Senior County Championship will be the same team to be relegated from the Senior Club Championship (The 8 senior clubs play off against each other in two pools in the Club Championship. The two teams that finished bottom of the Group Pools enter a Relegation Final. This loser will be relegated to the I.F.C. for 2023. Should a club reach the final of the County championship they will be exempt from the Relegation process in the Club championship).

The winner of the 2022 I.F.C. will be promoted to the 2023 Senior County and Club Championships.
