Leinster begins ‘mark’ in positive Gaelic football rules experiment

The upcoming Leinster MFL will feature three experimental rules as GAA chiefs examine ways of bringing about more positive approaches in football. T

The competition gets underway Saturday, a total of 16 teams competing with three deviations from normal rules.

The most interesting sees teams limited to a maximum of three consecutive hand passes before the ball must be kicked (unless a fisted point is being attempted), while a mark is introduced and backpasses to goalkeepers are outlawed.
