Skorts or shorts?

Which is it?

Option C - choice of either like in hockey

Is this mostly lads voting on above survey?

I think we should let the camogs make their own decision, which they have.

Crazy that 'traditionalists', majority women, voted against it.

I wonder will there be more protests as the weeks go on.  Kilkenny and Dublin should have held their ground the other day and see what would have happened if the referee (not their fault) called the game off.

Totally agree, they more made a point than any sort of protest.

I know within our County last year a Poll was completed with the various camogie club players and the general concensus was 80% in favour of retaining the skorts.

This is being driven by a few high profile members of the GPA. At his point they are only polling their own members [County Players](if done at all) and forgetting the wider population who play the game.

Current head of the Camogie Association is a man, Brian Molloy but he inherited this decision and officially it can't be voted on again until 2027;

It may well be and as someone who coaches camogie I've yet to see a girl turn up to training wearing a skort, it's always been shorts.

[Lamps]

Who in the camogie association is in favour of keeping them?
My bet is that its auld biddies who played camogie in pinafores in the 70s and now sit in key roles. The voice of the current and modern day camogie player is far more important.

County delegates voted for the decision at the previous congress 2024 - if the players wanted change at that point they needed to inform their delegates to make the change and required the necessary numbers to change the rule.

All the present officials are doing is implementing an official rule as is the referee - same as the requirement to wear a helmet.

Talk about the players and the skill they possess - not too many conversations re that but as soon as a controversy occurs plenty of column inches then.

Speak to your camogie club secretary and they'll be able to tell you who the respective county convention delegates are or were in 2024.

I know it happens a bit in the GAA, but the Camogie have a serious disconnect with the players even at county board level.

It's a disaster of an organisation. Like the sport is much better than LGFA but they are leaving them in their dust.

Cork camogie star Ashling Thompson says the Rebels are prepared to risk Saturday's Munster final being abandoned, as they will refuse to wear skorts for the decider against Waterford

"If [wearing shorts] means abandoning the gamea and handing over the Munster title to Waterford, that's what we'll do," Thompson told RTÉ on Wednesday.

"We're just hoping that Waterford will follow suit. It's not about us vs. the association - it's standing up for what's right."

The GPA revealed recently that 83% of camogie players want a choice between wearing skorts or shorts. With little sign of change, Dublin and Kilkenny protested ahead of last weekend's Leinster final by emerging in shorts. They were threatened with the game being abandoned before changing into skorts

The whole thing is a farce. How has something like this developed in this day and age.. The people at the head of that organisation should hang their heads in shame.

Call her bluff. Rules is rules. If she wants the rules changed she knows how.
