Tomorrow’s Munster Senior Camogie Championship Final between Cork and Waterford has been cancelled, less than 16 hours before the game was set to throw-in.

The build-up to the game has been marred by controversy as players across the country to continue to voice their frustrations and protest in relation to rules enforcing that they wear a ‘skort’ as opposed to shorts – a matter which 83% of 650 inter-county players said they would prefer the choice of in a recent survey by the GPA.

Both Cork and Waterford have publicly stated their intentions in recent days to wear shorts in defiance of the rule – even if that would result in the game being abandoned. It comes after players were told to change having lined out in shorts initially before last weekend’s Leinster Senior Camogie Championship Semi-Final between Dublin and Kilkenny.

In a statement released by the GPA on behalf of both the Cork and Waterford players earlier this week, clear intentions were outlined: “We look forward to representing ourselves, our clubs, our counties, and our supporters in Saturday’s Munster final. We will not be making any further media comment ahead of the game as our concentration is focussed on putting on our best possible performance.

“We will be at The Ragg in Tipperary with the intention of getting the better of each other on the field of play. We will be togged out wearing shorts. That is our choice.”

A statement from Camogie Association President Brian Molloy earlier today called on players to respect the rules in place before a Special Congress is called on May 22nd in relation to the matter.

A date is now awaited for the game to be re-fixed.
