The seven Cork camogie players who won All-Stars in the past two seasons are boycotting the 2023 All-Star tour to Canada because of its scheduling just one week out from the start of the All-Ireland championship.

Cork midfielder Ashling Thompson, who collected her third All-Star last year, confirmed their decision to the Irish Examiner. Thompson said the timing of the tour is “just crazy”.
