Weird group dynamic given that Waterford were All Ireland finalists.

Waterford, Tipp and KK certainties for Top 3 in Group 1

Group 2 a toss up for 3rd place and it should be seen as a good opportunity for Wexford, Down, Clare and Dublin to get through a KO game

The White Feather

This brought a tear to my eye. He shattered the glass ceiling. For too long, Camogie is female dominated!!! (I am just joking before people go crazy 😜)

Motions to allow the wearing of shorts defeated. Strange one given so many players in favour of a change

It is baffling alright.

The vote to replace skorts with shorts was 64% to 35% but the vote just to add shorts to acceptable playing wear was 55% to 45%

Just give the players the option and let them decide. This shouldn't be that hard. I don't understand why is was voted down at all

The county boards were all asked to get feedback from Club reps - So why is it a surprise?

Obviously the feedback from club players is that the skort is okay for them?

My wife and kids are trying to get tickets for Sundays league final. We are used to the farce that is that Camoige association in relation to grounds / times etc announced at last minute and then changed on the morning but really cant understand how they are making such a mess of communications around the league final tickets. Spent a good hour yesterday trying to find information, original goal was to buy tickets but after the hour would have been happy with just ticket information. The main camogie website (which itself is a terrible design) has zero reference to tickets and their links point to last years games. They have historically used multiple companies to sell their tickets and none of these has any information. Even the counties playing don’t have any information on their facebook / websites. Anyone on the fence about attending is just not going to bother. No big picture thinking.

 

Appreciate the association is at the mercy of the GAA to give them grounds but they need to up their basic communications. Volunteers are either stretched or are the wrong people (skill not effort) and the paid staff at the are not doing the game any good long term.

 

The sooner the associations amalgamate, and the ladies get some respect and the use of the GAA’s resources (staff / training facilities / pitches) the better.

Its on the Camogie website ? 1A and 2A on in Croke park.

I hear everything you are saying there except the last bit - 'as soon as the ladies get some respect'

Could you qualify that please.

Respect from who, exactly?

Whose job is it to have a well run website and ticketing system for these games?

As you mentioned yourself - GAA/ LGFA/ Camogie are volunteer based

If its one thing that annoys me in a volunteer run organisation its someone giving out that "Its a shambles - somebody's got to do something (but that somebody wont be me)".

And what annoys me even more - you volunteers, giving up your time for free…..us non-volunteers arent happy with the job you are doing.

Having said all that - I would agree with you it can be very hard to find out the when/ how/ where of buying tickets for LGFA or Camogie games, especially in the League. However, my guess is that both organisations are trying to do the same level of organising as the GAA with 10% of the resources.

my problem is how do you buy the tickets. There is zero information on their website.

click on the links on the left of your screenshot

• “croke park tickets” brings you to club matches scheduled on 17th of December!
• “General tickets” brings you a 3rd party website “universe” that is only selling gogames workshop tickets

The finalists of these games were decided on 31st of March.

i understand…

Unfortunately, its seems to be a common theme. The Leinster Camogie website is a graveyard for info also.

But maybe they are forsaking these in favour of facebook/Instagram?

The late info for Venues, and throw in times is a joke mostly though .

my respect comment is in relation to access to grounds which all seem to be owned by the GAA and prioritised for use for the GAA. The ladies can have a ground only if the GAA are not using it.

The ladies will always likely lag on numbers attending the game versus the men’s but what’s going on is definitely holding back the growth. Female participation in team sports is so important at young ages so it’s needs the bigger picture lense not the € one.

The effort of the volunteers on the ground at clubs is huge, it feels that it’s not matched at the head office level, even a statement saying x or y about tickets is better than silence. This can be helped by amalgamation and the use of pooled admin resources.

"This can be helped by amalgamation and the use of pooled admin resources."

or will it be the same?

It will probably be the same camogie people looking after the camogie under the "GAA all inclusive" umbrella?

Even the pic….

Would the photographer not remove the light rig on the pitch just to improve the pic?

Is that pic supposed to be of all the captains of teams playing in the League Finals? Theres a few missing? 😏

Took me 2 minutes…….

Its the little things, I think it shows a little bit of "ahh shur its grand…"

It's from the photoshoot of the 2024 league launch. I don't think they knew who the finalists were before it kicked off.

Would anyone have any idea how to get group tickets for Sunday? Looking to bring about 30 girls and coaches to rye league finals. Ticketmaster isn't allowing me to purchase any juvenile tickets at all.

Oddly enough you can do it easily for the other Camogie finals that aren’t on in Croke Park (which are sold via ‘Universe’ - So it either means it’s a Croke Park thing or a Ticketmaster thing

Ring 01 865 8651 in the morning

Seems to be a bit from column A and a bit from column B regarding the tickets.

Hopefully it'll get sorted., thanks for the help

Ticketmaster has juvenile tickets all right, the same way it always does. Works best if using a PC rather than phone or other device.

Select your own seats by zooming in on seat map, then left click on the one(s) you want, and it'll bring up a box allowing you to designate it as either an adult, juvenile, or student/OAP ticket, and you'll be charged the relevant price.

Alternatively - where the red X is near the top right of screenshot below will default to "All ticket types" when you're first on the page. So, just click on it and then select "Juvenile" from the options that will appear. You'll see how it's already giving a couple of choices itself.

Thanks for taking the time to put that together but my issue is I want to buy 30 odd adjoining tickets and from what I can see the maximum in one transaction directly through Ticketmaster is 8.

Looks like Its being sorted through the camogie association office, I spoke to someone there this morning so hopefully...

Uncle Pierre

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122002076#Comment_122002076

Okay. Other option is you could just put through four transactions of seven or eight tickets each in quick succession, and have it all done yourself tonight, instead of continuing to wait for somebody there to get back to you. Hope you get it sorted anyway.

Lightscribe

All sorted thankfully.

I emailed number of tickets required to camogie HQ along with the email address of a valid Ticketmaster account. The batch of tickets was then added to the TM basket by someone in Croke Park so when we logged in to the TM account the tickets were there.

Hope that makes sense! Thanks again for the help.

Another bandwagon jumper…. 🙄

At congress the majority of people there representing county boards are in fact women. - so its not the stereotypical auld lad voting to keep women in skorts….

The delegates there represent the camogie players of their counties,
( i'll speak about my county) The county board had notified ALL clubs well in advance that if the playing members of clubs want to amend the rule about skorts that they must notify the county board and they would then have to notify Croke Park about the feeling of the members.

The county boards represent the players, Do they just turn up and then vote regardless of their players opinions? I dont know for sure.

Personally the skort looks better on players than shorts - i think that they maybe designed wrong? If they were more lycra and had more 'give' in them they wouldnt 'travel up you' …?

The thing is , and it would take (a brave man especially..) to stand up and say publicly that the way a lot of girls wear shorts when playing G Football is embaressing. How can rolling up the waist of the shorts so much that the cheeks of your ar$e are on show is more comfortable than a skort?????? Its as ridiculous as it is embaressing to watch , but yeh 'they' prefer skorts…

And just for balance, i dont understand why men also wear shorts so tight and short either…. Probably more 'aero' …..

And while im on it - Why are the majority of shorts white ??

• Rant over 😮

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121991264#Comment_121991264

i disagree. anybody i've talked to or seen comment on this would prefer that at the very least, shorts are added as acceptable playing wear.

If the players are that in favour, why are county boards ignoring them? In any case, camogie players (in my view) should now just ignore this rule and play in shorts if they prefer. I understand that clubs can be fined, but if they all refuse to pay the fines it would force the Camogie association to realise that there is no game without the players.
