Carla Ward, manager of the Republic of Ireland team, criticized the Camogie Association's handling of the issue, highlighting concerns over player comfortâreflected in a survey where 70% of players reported discomfort in skorts. A Congress is scheduled to potentially amend the rule, allowing players the choice starting 24 May.
The ongoing controversy surrounding wearing skorts while playing camogie is "absolutely ludicrous", says Republic of Ireland manager Carla Ward.
Players have protested in recent weeks as they want a change to this rule to have the choice to wear shorts, which are allowed in gaelic football.
A Gaelic Athletic Association Special Congress will take place on 22 May to vote on the issue, which if passed would give players the option to wear shorts from 24 May.
A recent Gaelic Players Association survey highlighted how 70% of players experienced discomfort while wearing the skort, and that 83% of players wanted an option to choose to wear shorts.
