Aoife Sheehan: To retain camogie players, let's give them a choice

The issue regarding skorts won't help participation numbers in camogie, according to former Limerick player Aoife Sheehan.

Camogie players will continue to wear the skort, a pair of shorts with a fabric overlapping panel that resembles a skirt, after congress rejected a motion to change to shorts. The next time delegates can vote on the playing uniform will be at congress in 2027.

Tipperary Camogie had proposed the motion but it did not pass, with 64% voting against the change.

Former players such as Ursula Jacob and Gerladine Kinane have expressed their disappointment at the outcome, and speaking on the The Sunday Game, Sheehan argues that the key to a successful outcome is choice.
