History
The division was established in 1925. Hurling was the major game in the division at that time and the 1925 Junior Championship Draws tell their own story.
Junior hurling (9 teams):
- Cloughduv v Ballinora
- Inniscarra v Aghabullogue
- Macroom v Blarney
- Shournagh Valley v Ballincollig
- Bye Bride Valley
Junior football (3 teams):
- Kilmurry v Macroom
- Bye Bride Valley
To address the position of junior football in the Western area, a meeting was held in Ballincollig on 11 January 1925. The following motion was referred to the Annual Convention in Macroom 'That a Sub - Committee be appointed to carry on and organize football in the Western end of the Division'. The game is exceptionally strong in the division at present.[when?]
A Minor Hurling Championship was introduced in 1926. The following year a Minor Football Championship was introduced.
More clubs were formed which participated in both codes and all championships.
Competitions have continued to increase in number with a Junior (B) Hurling Championship being introduced in the 1940s and a Junior (B) Football Championship being introduced in 1961.
Under 21 championships in both codes were introduced in 1963 and as the facilities in the division improved beyond all recognition, the activities on the field of play have continued to increase and multiply.
24 competitions involving 21 clubs were organised this current year[when?] and they were all keenly contested. The standard of play was high and the division was well represented on all the codes' All Ireland winning teams. The Muskerry divisional teams have participated in the Senior Championships in both codes on a regular basis and they have generally given good accounts of themselves.
