GAA ready to trial one-on-one hurling penalties

One-on-one penalties in hurling will be trialled in next month’s Waterford Crystal and Walsh Cup competitions as part of the Hurling 2020 committee’s recommendations.

The new format will be introduced in January before it is decided to put forward a motion to Congress.

The Hurling 2020 group, led by former Tipperary manager Liam Sheedy, will announce their full list of recommendations on Tuesday, January 6. The idea of experimenting with the one-versus-one penalty was raised at last week’s Waterford annual convention.
