Camogie is a closed shop. Always has been. The ruling elite don’t take kindly to outsiders. They don’t take them in full stop.

The All-Ireland camogie championship is without mystique or unknowns. When the gun fires on the race for the O’Duffy Cup each summer, the sole question to be answered is which two from the big three of Cork, Galway, and Kilkenny will wind up in the final. Been that way for 10 years now.
