Change to penalty rule to head list of proposals made by Sheedy group

The Hurling 2020 Committee are not expected to call for wholesale changes to the playing rules of hurling.

The Liam Sheedy-led group will meet next Monday and have a busy month ahead of them as they hope to have proposals ready for late November ahead of Congress in Cavan next February.

A recommendation to change the penalty rule as it currently stands will be among the motions. In his analysis of the All-Ireland final replay on The Sunday Game at the weekend, Sheedy highlighted just two goals have been scored from 10 penalties in this year’s championship.
