Irish Thought for February 28....

Gaelic Sports

Camogie

Camogie is the version of hurling for girls.  It is very similar to the male version, with some minor rule changes, such as a lack of special rules for goalkeepers, the allowance of hand passing, the use of a smaller ball (or sliothar), and a 60 minute game instead of 70 minutes.  Camogie players also generally wear skirts or skorts rather than shorts.

I don't understand why girl games have to be different from boys' games.  Girls can play sports just as well as guys.

  1. As a matter of fact, we have one of our Kid's Club Females playing on a 'guys' Football team, and she handled her bruises with the best of them!
