Under-21 B Football Championship

This competition is confined to clubs who compete at the B level in each of the regional divisions in County Cork. The winning team is presented with the Seán Ó Crualaoí Cup. Presented in 2010 by the Crowley family in memory of the late Seán Crowley of Bandon, who was a Vice-President of the County Board up until his death in 2009. Bandon was the sporting love of his life, followed by love for his division Carbery, Cork and Munster in that order. He was Bandon's representative on the Carbery Board and also spent many years as Bandon's and Carbery's representative on the Cork County Board. He served as Chairman of the Carbery Board for a number of years and was also a selector for many years on Carbery Hurling and Football teams. He also acted as selector on the Cork Football All Ireland winning team of 1973 and on the successful Munster Railway Cup team of 1972, both successes which came after many years in the doldrums for both teams.

<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.
