The Munster senior camogie final was postponed after both participating teams decided to wear shorts instead of the mandatory skorts, violating Camogie Association rules. This decision, announced just 16 hours before the match, disappointed players from both Cork and Waterford, who felt it disrespected their preparation efforts. Sports Minister Charlie McConalogue supported the players' right to choose their attire, amidst ongoing debates over the uniform regulations. A recent survey indicated that a significant majority of players preferred to end the skorts requirement.
It shows scant regard for the preparation of players both physically and mentally to be ready for a provincial showpiece, to make this decision just 16 hours before the scheduled throw-in.
There was an opportunity to take a step forward from the recent controversy. Instead, a provincial final has been postponed because we took control of what we would wear.
