Confusion abounds over new rules

Just two days out from the start of the Allianz Leagues, the national media was briefed on the final clarifications and interpretations to the new playing rules in Croke Park yesterday.

RTÉ had received a previous audience with the GAA’s refereeing authorities last Saturday but figures from the national broadcasters were in attendance again as there had been changes in the interim, supposedly because of a delay in the exact understanding of the rules, which were voted in at Special Congress last October.
