Sin bin motion in hurling soundly defeated at GAA Congress

The black card/sin bin will remain confined to Gaelic football as the motion to introduce it to hurling was soundly defeated at GAA’s Annual Congress in Croke Park this morning.

With no speakers in favour of it and Antrim chairman Ciarán McCavana claiming it would be as welcome in his country as Joe Brolly on The Sunday Game, it was expected to fail and ultimately received just 18% of delegates’ support.
