South East Junior A Football Championship


The South East Cork Junior A Football Championship is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the Carrigdhoun Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association since 1929 for junior Gaelic football teams in the southeastern region of County Cork, Ireland.
The series of games begin in April, with the championship culminating with the final in the autumn. The championship includes a knock-out stage and a "back door" for teams defeated in the first round.
The South East Junior Championship is an integral part of the wider Cork Junior Football Championship. The winners and runners-up of the South East Cork championship join their counterparts from the other seven divisions to contest the county championship.
The title has been won at least once by 13 different clubs. The all-time record-holders are Kinsale, who have won a total of 17 titles.
Valley Rovers are the title-holders after defeating Belgooly by 1-12 to 0-9 in the 2017 championship final.
