Why did it take almost 30 years to play the first All-Ireland Camogie Final? The Camogie Association was founded in 1904, so why did the first All-Ireland Final not take place until 1933? In this episode of Over The Bar, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara unravel the fascinating early history of camogie, revealing how political divisions within the game's administrators, the arrival of the Tailteann Games, and the financial realities of organising teams and competitions repeatedly delayed the sport's biggest occasion. It's the story of a game determined to find its place despite setbacks, disagreements and obstacles that threatened to hold it back at every turn.
