Camogie Association president Brian Molloy has spoken about the strong support for skorts after Thursday evening’s Special Congress voted in favour to allow players wearing either them or shorts.

Effectively from midnight, a motion allowing the choice of attire was backed by 98% of the 133 delegates who attended the extraordinary meeting that lasted just over 20 minutes in Croke Park.
