GAA rubbish ‘one rule for hurlers, another for footballers’

THE GAA has dismissed suggestions that different disciplinary rules will apply to hurlers and footballers in next year’s Leagues.

They were responding to claims that a change to the rules meant hurlers will have a greater chance of getting yellow-carded for dissent than their footballing counterparts.

The Association issued a statement yesterday following what it said was the “inaccurate interpretation of the new rule experiments in hurling and football”.
