DO NOT SELL US SKORT

Molloy wants public figures who played part in kit saga to now urge fans to HQ

CAMOGIE Association President Brian Molloy has called on politicians and commentators who reacted to the skorts issue to now urge their followers to come out in force for this weekend's All-Ireland finals at Croke Park.

Molloy also challenged fans from Galway, Armagh and Kerry, who helped to fill Croker for All-Ireland football finals over the past two years, to come out and back their camogie teams.

Galway are in the Sunday's senior final, with Kerry in the intermediate and Armagh in the junior decider.

The skorts issue kicked up in May when some leading intercounty camogie players protested against not having the right to wear skorts or shorts, with the issue resolved at a Camogie Congress.

But not before it became a national talking point with politicians and social media influencers wading in and it even went beyond Ireland.

"The amount of focus we had on camogie in the month of May..." said Molloy, at the launch of the All-Ireland camogie finals at Croke Park yesterday.
