Valentia Young Islanders are a Gaelic Athletic Association club from Valentia Island, South County Kerry, Ireland. They play in Division 4 of the county league and in the Kerry Novice Football Championship. The club's most recent success has been winning the Munster Junior football championship final after beating Kildimo-Pallaskenry 12 points to 1-8 on 25 January 2015.
The Young Islanders is one of the many clubs affected by mass emigration, losing numerous players in this manner.[1] In recent years the club has struggled to field a sufficient number of players and has at times explored the option of merging with other local clubs.[2][3]
