Counihan calls for consultation on rules

CORK manager Conor Counihan has called for greater consultation with players and managers when the GAA implement changes to their playing rules in future.

Last weekend’s GAA Congress in Down saw the majority of this spring’s experimental playing rules being binned with the controversial handpass rule and the mark amongst those that were resoundingly defeated.

Counihan opined earlier this season that the managers and players had not been consulted enough when it came to drafting the rules and believes that there is a lesson to be learned in the manner in which so many of them were defeated last weekend.
