Canning joins chorus seeking hurling black card

Hurling 2020 committee member Ollie Canning has backed calls for the introduction of the black card, claiming players are being too severely punished for innocuous fouls.

The former All Star is the latest voice appealing for a third card be introduced into the hurling rule book.

RTÉ’s The Sunday Game panellists Eddie Brennan and Dónal Óg Cusack believe the black card could be a valuable tool for referees, with the latter lamenting the increasing number of sending-offs.
