Ryan decries ‘unholy’ rules mess

Cork chairman Bob Ryan last night claimed the GAA’s new interpretation on penalties and 20-metre frees has thrown the game of hurling in disarray.

Describing it as “an unholy mess”, Ryan was reacting to the news that all penalties and 20m frees are now set to be taken on the 20m line or up to seven metres before it.

Central Council are today expected to endorse the GAA’s management committee’s recommendation, therefore abolishing the style espoused by the likes of Anthony Nash and TJ Reid from this weekend forth.
