Glanmire to join City Division next year

Glanmire Football Club’s application to enter the City Division has been accepted.

Last month, it was revealed at the monthly Cork County Board meeting at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh that an application from Glanmire Football Club was noted and the views of the various stakeholders had been sought ahead of a County Committee decision on the matter.

Glanmire’s proposed move to Seandún was given the seal of approval at the latest Cork County Board meeting. The football outfit had been competing in the Imokilly division, but will now join Seandún from 2025.

The Cork County Board bulletin, which was circulated by Cork GAA on Thursday afternoon, read: "Following submissions of views from various stakeholders, the application from the Glanmire Football Club to join the Seandun Division from 2025 was passed by the County Committee."

Glanmire have won the most titles in the Imokilly JAFC with 20, with the last one in 1977.

It’s a big weekend ahead for Glanmire, who are currently in the fourth tier of Cork football, the Intermediate A grade. The team in green and gold face Gabriel Rangers in the semi-final of the championship on Saturday in Clonakilty at 4pm. 

Glanmire's last championship success at first team level was back in 1987 when they won the old IFC.

Football is on a high in Glanmire at the moment. Their U21 team claimed the Mulcahy Steel Imokilly U21 B football championship crown back in February and will face Kilmurry in the county quarter-final next month.
