skorts vs shorts uniform debate brimming in irish sport camogie as women push for choice

A small Irish sport has become the latest battleground for female athletes protesting against their dress codes - in this case 'skorts."

Camogie, a female version of hurling, doesn't allow players to wear shorts. But that rule is being challenged as outdated and the debate is headed for a showdown Saturday when Cork and Waterford square off in a final.

"We will be togged out wearing shorts. That is our choice," the teams said in a joint statement.

Players complain that 'skorts" - shorts that have extra fabric to resemble skirts - are uncomfortable.

The disagreement reached a tipping point last weekend when Dublin and Kilkenny players were required to change out of shorts into skorts to play in a semifinal game. Dublin captain Aisling Maher called it a "career low."
