Masterson against square ball changes

Wexford goalkeeper Anthony Masterson fears the new square ball rule will create a whole new set of problems for Gaelic football.

Masterson looked on with interest as Saturday’s events at Congress unfolded in Laois.

In open play, attacking players will now be permitted to enter the small rectangle before the ball but not until it has been played. Pending a decision by Central Council next month, the new rule could come into force in time for the provincial championships.
