Sheehy and Rock predict end for ground free kicks

Two of Gaelic football’s greatest dead-ball experts fear the ground free-kick will become a thing of the past before the end of the decade.

Unless something is done to remedy it, Mikey Sheehy and Barney Rock predict the art will die out of the game in the coming years.

After a particularly poor couple of days for free-takers in the weekend’s three provincial semi-finals, the pair are alarmed at how many frees are being missed.
