Kilkenny and Dublin camogie players both decided to wear shorts ahead of today's Leinster semifinal to protest the wearing of skorts. The video below shows the players heading back into the dressing room to put on skorts. They were told by officials the match would be abandoned

The mental energy players spend thinking and fixating on their skort constantly during a match is honestly tolling. A piece of outdated clothing like this shouldn’t let be a distraction when we’re trying to perform at the highest level we can.

What the Kilkenny and Dublin camogie players did today is the right way to go about this, draw attention to a ludicrous rule. Hopefully more teams do the same. A comment piece on skorts for the Irish Mail on Sunday tomorrow

Andddd breatheeee

🏑 Shauna Connolly launched the ‘Shorts Not Skorts’ campaign in 2023 in the hopes of bringing Camogie into the 21st century. This week I spoke to her about the Camogie Association’s recent vote to allow shorts to become part of the sport’s official kit👇
