Shorts can now be work by camogie players after a Special Congress this evening in Croke Park voted by 98% in favour of the rule change.

The vote took place after a huge number of protests from players requesting the choice to wear shorts instead of skorts. The protests saw the Camogie Association cancel a number of games rather than see players turn up in shorts.

After the vote Camogie President Brian Molloy said: “We are pleased to announce that delegates have voted by an overwhelming majority in favour of giving players greater choice in their playing attire. From midnight tonight, each individual player will have the option to wear skorts or shorts - adding choice while maintaining the professionalism and uniformity of our team kits in both colour and design.

“I want to sincerely thank our incredible volunteers for their ongoing support over the last few weeks, and to our delegates for voting on behalf of over 120,000 members, including 94,000 playing members.”
