Yellow and red cards must stay, says Barrett

Munster’s national referees committee representative, Willie Barrett, maintains yellow and red cards must be retained in hurling as they are integral to the understanding of the game.

The former inter-county referee, one of Pat McEnaney’s chief advisors, looks forward to the debate proposed by GAA president Liam O’Neill on the game.

Among the subject that will be debated include the eradication of yellow and red cards as proposed by Kilkenny great Eddie Keher and endorsed by manager Brian Cody.
