Why the GAA tweaked kick-out proposal

Concerns about underage goalkeepers not being able to kick the ball past the 45m line convinced Central Council to make a second change to the experimental rule.

The original proposal, one of five to be trialled in the pre-season competitions and Allianz Leagues, had called for all kick-outs to reach or pass the 45m line and for only two players from each team to be within the 45m lines for the restart.
