Keher lays his cards on the table

After canvassing opinion, Eddie Keher has delivered a document to the GAA calling for the end of yellow and red cards in hurling

What Eddie Keher wants to make clear is his document isn’t a Kilkenny one. He wouldn’t have put fingertip to keyboard were it not for first canvassing opinions of hurling people from other counties.

As most things do, it started with a conversation. Then another followed by another before someone convinced him that his views represented many within the game and he should do something about it. Keher is a long-time critic of how hurling is officiated, but the border-line sendings off of Henry Shefflin, Pa Horgan and Ryan O’Dwyer last year agitated him greatly.
