Skorts controversy: What is the issue & why are players protesting?

Yesterday, Kilkenny and Dublin faced off in the Leinster senior camogie semi-final; however, before the match could get going, both teams initially came onto the pitch wearing shorts instead of the regulatory ‘skorts’, and almost saw the match being completely called off as a result. This is because under rule 6(b) of the sport’s code, playing gear must include a skirt/skort/divided skirt. Joining Anton to discuss the issue is Kilkenny corner-back, Michelle Teehan & Anna Geary, former Cork camogie captain & presenter of the docu-series 'Why Girls Quit Sport'.
