Michelle Teehan: 'It shouldn’t even be a discussion really'

The All-Star tour had been scheduled to take place just one week out from the start of the All-Ireland championship.

The Camogie Association’s now cancelled 2023 All-Star tour to Canada would have put players in an awful position, according to Kilkenny defender Michelle Teehan.

Corner-back Teehan was a nominee last year and eight of her team-mates ended up on the All-Star selection. The tour had been scheduled to take place just one week out from the start of the All-Ireland championship. As a result, it was heavily-criticised by several players and eventually the Camogie Association informed counties it would not take place.
