    1. Why not use the final as a trial run?. Get the players feedback and see what happens

      A really excellent statement.

      The decision by the Munster Camogie Council has vibes of pettily throwing the toys out of the pram.

    3. Massively embarrassing situation. As far as I know this has been called for a few years and it’s overwhelming supported by the players. For an amatuer game, it’s really taking the piss to ignore the vast vast majority of people playing the sport. 

      They should have bit their tongue, suspended this rule until the emergency meeting to discuss it took place. Postponing the game for the ‘integrity’ of the sport seems so bizarre. 

      I can understand how the other game (Kilkenny Dublin?) became a mess where the players just ran out in shorts and the ref has to enforce the rules. This game they were pre warned and had time to come up with a solution and their solution was to postpone the game.

      Saying the game was cancelled “for the good of the players” is an absolute bullshit cop-out. Regardless of all the players feelings towards skorts vs shorts, you can be guaranteed that not a single one of them wanted the game called off!

      I’m out of the loop. What’s happening? Something about skorts?

      Top statement. 👍

      Now here is the question: does the committee stop shooting themselves in the foot when they run out of feet, or when they run out of guna?

      Would players at the start of the year have had to sign up and agree to abide by the rules and regulations which I’d imagine involved the wearing of skorts for games?

      How have they not fixed this ages ago. It’s simply just letting them wear shorts. Embarrassing it’s got to this stage.

    9. Dangerous-Shirt-7384 on

      The rule on shorts is backwards. They should be allowed wear shorts or skorts. Almost everybody agrees on that.

      BUT!!

      These players came out earlier in the week and said they were going to blatantly ignore a rule that the camogie association voted on last year and if they didn’t like it they’d go off and play it in another ground by themselves.

      How can they be surprised at this response from the association that controls the game with that in mind?.

      What sort of precedent does that set?

      16/19 on that panel who voted on skorts are female ex players. These ladies voted against shorts. Its not a load of thick old men voting on what the women can wear,

      The camogie association already came out and said they hear the players and even though its not supposed to be up again until 2027 they’ll pull the vote forward to next years AGM.

      There’s a way to sort this stuff out and airing your dirty laundry ,(no pun intended) in public does nothing for the game of camogie.

      It seems like any time we’re talking about women’s sports in Ireland it’s about shite like this instead of the sport. Its exhausting. Sport is supposed to be fun.

    10. Neither team should turn up for the final as a statement I bet the organisers would backtrack immediately

    11. Ok-Republic-8528 on

      It’s absolutely pathetic in 2025 that a big match featuring amateur players who have committed several hours a week to training gym work etc is postponed because some geriatrics on a committee feel entitled to tell grown women how to dress

    12. urmyleander on

      Ok fess up who on the council has a spouse, sibling, child or in law with a monopoly on skorts?

    13. CroiDubh on

      GAA should be fucking ashamed of themselves, as an organisation they are and have been an embarrassment.
