Kilkenny's Michelle Teehan is strongly in favour of camogie players ditching skorts.
The garment, which is a combination of a skirt and a pair of shorts, is required to be worn by players though the prevailing mood is that it is impractical and very much outdated. In ladies football, which only became properly established in the 1970s, decades after camogie, players have always worn shorts.
London club Thomas McCurtain’s has pushed the issue ahead of this weekend’s Camogie Association Congress, with a survey that polled some 240 players finding that 82% preferred a switch to shorts, with 75% expressing the view that wearing skorts is not reflective of modern society.
