Ireland boss Ward baffled by 'ludicrous' skorts fallout
- Carla Ward, Ireland women's football manager, expressed frustration in May 2025 over a camogie controversy about uniform rules at home in Cork.
- The conflict arose because camogie players protested rules requiring skirts or skorts, which forbids wearing shorts, despite player opposition and recent motions to change the policy.
- The issue led to postponement of a Munster senior final between Cork and Waterford when both teams announced they would wear shorts against regulations.
- Ward called the ongoing uniform debate “absolutely ludicrous” and reflective of “an old mentality towards women,” questioning leadership and the rule’s disregard for players’ preferences.
- The controversy highlights wider demands for modernizing women’s sports attire and leadership changes, with a special camogie congress scheduled for May 22 to reconsider the uniform rule.
