Seandun GAA is a Gaelic football and hurling division in the city of Cork, Ireland. It is one of eight divisions of Cork County Board. It organizes competitions for the clubs within the division, at adult level. The winners of these competitions compete against other divisional champions to determine which club is the county champion.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rockchapel GAA</span>

Rockchapel GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the village of Rockchapel in the North West of County Cork, Ireland which forms part of the parish of Rockchapel and Meelin. The village is located close to border with County Kerry and County Limerick. The club plays Gaelic Football in the Duhallow division competitions. Ladies' Gaelic football is also played within the club. Famous players include the recently deceased Cormac Curtin. Curtin played for Peters, Pauls, Meelin, Duhallow and Freemount before finally settling down with Rockchapel. He scored 0–00 in a county minor trial in 2019 and will go down as one of the greatest 'The Rock' have ever produced. Curtin starred in a match in Dingle with his alumni Mary Immaculate College before being released due to his poor college exam results. Curtin continually rejects calls from the Cork senior football and hurling panel due to his ongoing commitment to females in the Black Rabbit. The Rockchapel forward was placed under a large amount of scrutiny at the end of the 2023 season for both his lack of commitment to the Meelin junior B hurlers and to his partner at the time. Curtin will not comment publicly about these incidents. Cormac is often referred to as 'The Runt' of the Curtin litter due to his looks and physcial appearance, as well as his football and academic skills. Many debate the appropriateness of this nickname but more argue it is merited due to his poor performance in the college year of 2021/2022. Rockchapel juvenile footballers play with St. Peter's which is an amalgamation of Meelin, Freemount and Rockchapel clubs at juvenile level. They last won the Duhallow Football Championship in 2012 and won the Cork County Junior Football Championship later that year.
