'Skorts vs shorts didn't start today' – camogie club co-founder recalls 1970s uniform threat
Kiltegan Camogie Club co-founder Mary Kelly recalls being threatened with expulsion for wearing shorts in the 1970s, saying the current skort controversy shows "nothing has changed" in the disconnect between players and administrators Wicklow People Today at 06:00 The co-founder of a Wicklow camogie club that was threatened with expulsion for wearing shorts back in the 1970s has said that mindsets within the Camogie Association have not changed since, and that the 'skort' controversy typifies the long-standing disconnect between players and county and national representatives. Amidst the player protests and calls to action that saw last weekend's Leinster Junior Championship final between Wicklow and Louth postponed, the raging skort dispute has brought back memories of games played in swelteringly hot wool pinafores that felt like 'wearing an Aran sweater' for Kiltegan Camogie Club founder Mary Kelly.

The game's deferral is connected to ongoing controversy which has seen camogie players protesting against having to wear skorts – or refusing outright to play if forced to wear skorts instead of shorts.
