Camogie president Brian Molloy has called on fans to support the players - just as they did during the skorts debate earlier this year - by turning out in record numbers for Sunday's All-Ireland finals.

The attractive triple-header at Croke Park features Laois v Armagh in the junior final at 1pm, Offaly v Kerry in the intermediate decider at 3pm and Cork v Galway in the senior final at 5.15pm.

“There was a huge amount of comment all through May on the skorts issue,” Molloy told a pre-All-Ireland finals media event yesterday.

“There were TikToks and WhatsApps and all sorts of Instagram and Facebook (posts) and all that. All really good, all really positive.

“There were loads of media interviews, the vast majority of which, I’d say, was positive. There were some who didn’t really understand the situation, but those who understand camogie, understand Gaelic games and understand sports understood what the process was.

“And we got there. The vast majority of those people that commented at that time made it very clear they wanted to make a point in support of the voice of the female athletes, in support of female participation in sport.

“And if that’s the case, and I have no reason to believe it isn’t, their social media accounts should be as lit up this week calling on all of their followers, their constituents, their supporters to get to Croke Park on Sunday and demonstrate physical, tangible support for the women that in May they called on the Association to support.

“A lot of politicians were involved, a lot of senators, a lot of TDs, a lot of ministers. I want to see all those people using their position of influence in a positive way now for the camogie players and urging their supporters to come to Croke Park on Sunday.”
