Rebel Óg to organise U18 competition next year as minor moves to U17

In line with Croke Park policy, Rebel Óg will make U13, U15, and U17 their primary underage grades

Cork County Board, meanwhile, will organise U21 competitions next year

Cork GAA’s underage body, Rebel Óg, will organise a one-off U18 competition next year to cater for the players who would otherwise have been left idle as a result of U17 replacing U18 as the new minor age-grade at club level.

The age-grade for minor competitions at inter-county level dropped from U18 to U17 in 2018, with this approach to be replicated at club level nationwide from 2021 onward.
