‘Nash motion’ all about safety, insists Fitzgerald

Davy Fitzgerald said it’s a must for safety’s sake that the “Anthony Nash motion” is passed in Congress on Saturday.

A playing rules committee, of which Brian Cody is a member, have put forward a proposal calling on all 20 metre frees and penalties to be struck before the 20m line.

The idea is regarded as a reaction to Nash’s goals from 20m frees in last year’s All-Ireland finals when the Cork goalkeeper struck the ball several yards past the line.
