The decision by the Camogie Association’s special congress to allow players to wear shorts is welcomed by Limerick senior camogie manager Joe Quaid.

However, it does leave them in a bit of a bind ahead of their All-Ireland championship opening round against reigning champions Cork on Saturday (Páirc Uí Rinn, 4pm). They’re in a race against time to ensure they have the correct uniform which is a green jersey and green shorts.

Quaid appeals to the Camogie Association to give them sufficient time to sort out the situation.

“The problem now is the shorts have to be the same colour as the jersey,” he explains.

“Our training shorts are navy but trying to get green shorts to go with the green jersey is a bit of a challenge. I know the girls are trying to source them themselves, which is not ideal the day before you play the first round of the All-Ireland championship.

“We have navy shorts but I don’t know if they will be fully uniform.

“Where are we going to get green shorts between Friday morning and Saturday at four o’clock when we are playing?

“I just hope that if the gear isn’t uniform tomorrow the Camogie Association will give us a chance to have the uniform by next week. The shorts have to have the camogie crest on them as well and that takes a bit of time.

“We are trying to get shorts today that will be acceptable, we’re trying to source them. Hopefully we will, is the best way to describe it.”
