Football championship
The2001 Bank of IrelandAll-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 115th staging of theAll-Ireland Senior Football Championship , theGaelic Athletic Association 's premierinter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 6 May 2001 and ended on 23 September 2001.
The format of the championship saw the biggest change in over 100 years with the introduction of the All-Ireland qualifiers. This system saw teams who were defeated in the provincial championships enter a secondary championship and the chance to qualify for the All-Ireland series. The Leinster Championship abandoned its group stage and returned to a straight knockout system.London declined to field a team in the championship due to an outbreak offoot and mouth disease . There were initially scheduled to hostMayo atRuislip on the last Sunday of May but Connacht council decided to post phone the fixture a fortnight before the game was to take place.
Kerry entered the championship as thedefending champions , however, they were defeated byMeath in the All-Ireland semi-final.[ 1]
On 23 September 2001,Galway won the championship following an 0–17 to 0–8 defeat of Meath in the All-Ireland final. This was their ninth All-Ireland title and their first in three championship seasons. Galway also became the first county to win the All Ireland by coming through the Qualifiers after losing the Connacht Semi-final to Roscommon, they beat Wicklow, Armagh and Cork in the Qualifiers where they again met Roscommon in the All Ireland Quarter-final. This time they got revenge by beating them. Beating Derry in the All Ireland Semi-final and Meath in the final to claim their ninth All Ireland Title.
Galway'sPádraic Joyce was the championship's top scorer with 3-45. He was also named as theTexaco Footballer of the Year , whileDeclan Meehan was chosen as theAll Stars Footballer of the Year .
The provincial championships inMunster ,Leinster ,Ulster andConnacht ran as usual on a "knock-out" basis. But for the first time, these provincial games were then followed by the "Qualifier" system:
Round 1 of the qualifiers included all thecounties that did not qualify for the Provincial Semi-finals, except forNew York . An open draw was made to giveRound 2 consisted of the eight defeated teams in the Provincial Semi-finals playing against the eight winners from Round 1. A draw was made to determine the eight pairings.Round 3 consisted of the 8 winners from Round 2 playing each other in an open draw format.Round 4 consisted of each of the four teams defeated in the Provincial Finals shall playing against the four winners from Round 3. A draw was made to determine the four pairings.The Leinster football championship reverts to normal just 1 Round pre to Quarter-finals.
In the All-Ireland Quarter-finals, each of the four Provincial Champions played one of the four winners from Round 4. The All-Ireland Semi-finals were determined on a provincial rota basis, initially determined by the Central Council. If a Provincial Championship winning team was defeated in its Quarter-final, the team that defeats it took its place in the semi-final.
Provincial championships [ edit ] Due to an outbreak offoot and mouth disease in the UK,London took no part in the Connacht Senior Football Championship in 2001. The Connacht Council decided to cancel their home Quarter-final game against Mayo.[ 2]
