Brennan in dark on card rule

NICKY BRENNAN, the chairman of the Hurling Rules Task Force, last night admitted that he had not been consulted on the experimental yellow card system.

Brennan's admission followed those of Tipperary Allstar Eoin Kelly and Wexford George O'Connor, who had agreed to embrace the sin bin system, but had given no such support to the new structure whereby a player is sent off after receiving a yellow card.

"We met twice and we felt the sin bin would be good," Kelly said.
