    Anyone know why Camogie goalies wear the same jersey as outfield players and not there own unique jersey? Just find it peculiar since not the norm in other GAA sports??

    According to Wikipedia



    Goalkeepers wear the same colours as outfield players. This is because no special rules apply to the goalkeeper and so there is no need for officials to differentiate between goalkeeper and outfielders.

    Something about rules are the same for camogie goalkeepers and outfield players, so no need to differentiate. In Hurling, Gaelic Football and LGFA their is some rules that is different for the goalkeeper. Like in Gaelic football the goalkeeper can pick the ball up of the ground in the small square and is protected in there

    Don't know the exact reason but Camogie is dealt with by a different association to Gaelic Football (ladies and mens), Hurling and handball. You will see the different camogie association crest on camogie jerseys versus the gaa crest on the other sports jerseys.

    They have numerous different rules and I imagine this is just another. Other examples, allowed to drop Hurley, must wear a skirt/skort when playing, can handpass a goal, can catch ball 3 times etc..

    Edit: beaten to it

    So a camogie goalkeeper is just another defender? Forgive my ignorance, I'm from Mayo.

    Last I checked you can't catch the ball 3 times in hurling either.

    His post was in response to mine saying another difference was that in camogie you could catch three times. He was pointing out I was incorrect.

    On a side note - were you ever allowed (in recent history) catch the ball 3 times in cammogie. I have it in my head that you definitely were at some point but can't say for sure.

    Camogie is not a GAA sport
    They have their own association
