Ali Twomey disheartened by ‘expensive hobby’ camogie compared to funding for men’s players

Camogie players don’t receive mileage payments like inter-county male players do, nor a nutrition allowance or an individual government cash grant

Experienced Dublin forward Ali Twomey has described inter-county camogie as a ‘very expensive hobby’ which costs her hundreds of euro most months.

Twomey reckons she pays up to €100 per month on tolls to get to training, plenty more on fuel, and then she has to shell out on nutrition.
