Cork Senior Camogie Championship
The Cork Senior Camogie Championship is an annual club camogie competition contested by the top-ranking senior clubs and amalgamated teams in the county of Cork in Ireland. The competition winners are decided through a group and knockout format. It is the most prestigious competition in Cork Camogie. Glen Rovers have been the competition's most successful club with twenty-two victories.
History
1930s
The first Cork Camogie Senior Championship was held in 1932.
1940s
In 1947 Imokilly won the championship, beating a factory team from Dwyer’s’ Lee Hosiery Company on North Main Street (the factory building now houses Mr. Price on North Main Street and goes through to the Bodega Bar on Cornmarket Street) in the final.[1] The former were the second divisional team to win the title and the latter the last factory team to contest a final.[2]
In 1948, Blackrock won their first title.
1950s
The Glen Rovers club won its first championship in 1950.
1960s
Glen Rovers were the dominant team in the 60s, winning seven titles in a row from 1960 to 1967.
1990s
Glen Rovers were the dominant team in the 90s, starting off the decade by winning the 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1993 championships.
After the 1993 championship (when the Glen also won the All-Ireland), the Cork Senior Camogie Championship was reorganized into a Senior A Championship with Glen and the Divisional Sides (Seandún, Imokilly, Muskerry and Carbery), and a Senior B Championship with all the other Senior clubs.[3]
The Glen won the first three of these Senior A Championships to make it seven senior titles in a row. They beat Seandún in 1994, 1–14 to 1–9, and also won in 1995 and 1996.
2000s
Milford were Runner-Up in 2004 and 2009.
2010s
Milford and Inniscarra were the dominant teams in this decade.
Milford had wins in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. They were also Runners-Up in 2011 and 2016.
Inniscarra had wins in 2010, 2016 (beating Milford, 4–10 to 2–13), 2017 (beating the Glen, 2–13 to 1–10) and 2018 (beating Courcey Rovers). They also lost the final in 2019 (to Sarsfields, 0–15 to 3-09) and the first two finals of the following decade (see below).
2020s
Inniscarra lost the 2020 final to Courcey Rovers on a score of 1–12 to 5–12. It was Courcey's first victory in the Championship.[4]
The 2021 Senior Camogie Final was contested between Seandún and Inniscarra with the Divisional side running out winners on a score of 2–11 to 0–13.[5]
The 2022 final was contested between Seandún and Sarsfields with the Divisional side running out winners on a score of 2–16 to 1–17. Saint Vincent's Amy O'Connor scored 2–8 on the day and was awarded "player of the match".[6]
