Camán na mBan
An exploration of the history, evolution and future of the 120-year-old sport of camogie as it faces integration with the GAA by 2027.
An ChamógaÃocht – seasann sà anois i mbéal an athraithe is mó di go dtà seo – comhtháthú leis an Chumann Lúthchleas Gael faoi 2027. FiosraÃonn an clár fáisnéise seo stair, forbairt agus todhchaà na camógaÃochta a bunaÃodh 120 bliain ó shin.
Tá scothimreoirà agus iar-imreoirà camógaÃochta, beirt iar-Uachtarán an Chumann CamógaÃochta agus staraithe spóirt i measc rannpháirtithe an chláir, a chaitheann súil ar na dúshláin a sháraigh an Cumann agus an spórt féin le 120 bliain anuas, agus mar a bhain bunaitheoirà na camógaÃochta spás amach do mhná i réabhlóid chultúrtha agus spórtúil chasadh an 20ú céid.
Nuair a coinnÃodh amach as na cluichà sa CLG iad, mhúnlaigh ceannródaithe an spóirt a rialacha féin agus chruthaigh siad spórt do mhná, ar chosain siad a bhféinriail féin. TrÃocha bliain nÃos déanaÃ, ba é an neamhspleáchas céanna a chruthaigh scoilt chontúirteach sa Chumann.
Camogie currently faces the most fundamental change in its existence – integration with the Gaelic Athletic Association by 2027. In this, its 120th year, the history, evolution and future of camogie are explored.
With contributions from All-Star camogie players past and present, two former presidents of the Camogie Association and Gaelic Games’ academics, this documentary examines the challenges the association and the sport have overcome in 120 years. How did the early founders carve out a space for women within the sporting and cultural revolution at the turn of the 20th century?
Shut out from playing within the GAA, early advocates of camogie adopted their own rules and created a sport for women, staunchly guarding their autonomy. Thirty years later, this fierce independence caused disagreements that almost tore the association apart.
