On October 1, 2006, the Yeats County defeated Leitrim by 0-8 to 0-4 at Croke Park to claim the TG4 All-Ireland junior football Championship.

This was a sweet victory for Sligo, who'd lost deciders to Kildare and Armagh in 2004 and 2005 respectively - performance psychologist Caroline Currid served as skipper for the latter season.
