Camogie final postponed due to planned players' protest over shorts ban
- The planned camogie championship match between teams from Cork and Waterford, set for May 10 at The Ragg, was called off less than 16 hours before kickoff due to a player-led protest against the ban on shorts.
- The postponement followed both teams confirming their intention to wear shorts instead of mandated skorts, defying existing Camogie Association rules and continuing tensions sparked by last weekend's Leinster semi-final protest.
- The Camogie Association has scheduled a special meeting at Croke Park on May 22 to discuss the uniform rule, following a Gaelic Players Association survey in which 83% of inter-county players expressed a preference for having the option to wear shorts instead of skorts.
- Christine Ryan, Munster Council chairperson, stated the deferral serves the best interests of players and officials because players would not play in skorts, and the GPA called on Minister Patrick O'Donovan to seek an interim relaxation of the shorts rule.
- The postponement highlights ongoing disagreements over uniform rules in camogie and suggests potential changes may follow the special congress, with a rescheduled match date to be announced after May 24.
