The Galway and Clare camogie teams have joined the skorts protest by posting clips on social media of the two teams lining out in shorts during a challenge game on Thursday evening.

While the Camogie Association has announced a Special Congress for Thursday, May 22 to decide the fate of the skort and whether it is to be replaced by shorts, the images from the Galway-Clare challenge was the latest piece of evidence that players will not be adhering to rule in the fortnight run-in to Congress.
