A skort is essentially a half-way house between shorts and a skirt – a divided skirt, a pair of shorts with a skirt over the top or, if you like, a skirt with a pair of shorts underneath, which some sportswomen wear instead of either a skirt or shorts.
The skort is part of the required GAA camogie uniform, and the item of clothing has hit the news because the sport’s annual congress decided the skorts must stay, despite the objections of many players.
