The yellow sliotar is here to stay as it has been decided it will be used in all inter-county championship games.

The GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee have confirmed to the Irish Examiner the luminous ball will be the standard colour sliotar for matches after it was introduced for the Liam MacCarthy Cup at the end of last year.
