If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, Fitzgerald urges hurling officials

Davy Fitzgerald has reminded GAA officials there is little wrong with the game of hurling after one of its greatest seasons.

In recent weeks, GAA president Liam O’Neill has spoken of introducing the black card to hurling and the standing playing rules committee are expected to bring forward a new rule on 20-metre free in the wake of Anthony Nash’s shots this past year. There are also plans to make any interference with a player’s faceguard a red card offence.

Clare’s All-Ireland winning manager did not specify which possible rule changes he opposed, if any. However, he is adamant the game as it stands shouldn’t be meddled with.
