Camogie Players Protest Over Requirement To Wear Skorts
7 May - 6 minsOn Saturday, the Dublin and Kilkenny camogie teams took to the field wearing shorts ahead of their Leinster semi-final fixture, in protest against a rule which requires them to wear skorts during matches. Having been told by the referee that the game wouldn’t go ahead if they didn’t comply with the rules, they subsequently changed into skorts.

Sinead O’Carroll, Editor of TheJournal.ie, spoke to Matt about the issue.
