GAA Handball chiefs have issued a stern warning to players and members that they will be subject to disciplinary action should they contact full-time or volunteer officials with “abusive text messages, emails or phone calls”.

Tensions in the sport were raised following reports that Central Council had considered declaring all the unfinished 2020 competitions -shelved by Covid-19 restrictions - as null and void.
