GAA set to crackdown on feigning injury

GAA chiefs are considering introducing penalties for "divers" who feign injury to gain advantage over opponents.

The Association is increasingly concerned with the culture of getting players booked by feigning injury, though there is still nothing in the GAA rules to punish such behaviour.

Now the Association's Strategic Review Committee has tabled a motion to the Special Congress next month seeking the introduction of new legislation to hand out penalties.
