Cork and Waterford camogie final postponed

Cork’s clash with Waterford in the Munster Senior Camogie final has been postponed.

The game was due to take place tomorrow at 1pm at The Ragg in Tipperary.

But this evening the Munster Camogie Association issued a statement to say the game was off due to the ongoing shorts v skort stance by players.

During the week both Cork and Waterford indicated they were going to wear shorts but under current rules you have to wear skorts for a game to start. 

A special congress to discuss this will be held by the Camogie Association on May 22 to change that rule and allow shorts be worn.

The Munster Association statement said: “Saturday’s Munster senior camogie final has been postponed as Cork and Waterford insisted on wearing shorts.

"The game has been due to be played in The Ragg but will now be played at a later date likely when shorts are permissible attire following the Special Congress vote on May 22.

 “As the committee in charge of the Munster Championship, we have reviewed the situation regarding the Munster final.

“As the current camogie rules of play are still in place and the players have indicated they would not be prepared to play the game in skorts, the decision has been made to defer the game in the best interests of all players and officials involved.

“The details of the rescheduled fixture will be released in due course.”
