Former Mayo boss Peter Leahy wants Ladies rulebook to tackle 'cynical' play of Dublin

While the ladies football rulebook lists a number of fouls that warrant a yellow card and 10 minutes in the sin-bin, there are a number of other fouls that players can commit more than once before a referee is obliged to send a player to the sin-bin.

Former Mayo ladies football manager Peter Leahy has said the LGFA rulebook requires a drastic overhaul to stamp out what he terms the 'cynical' play of five-in-a-row chasing Dublin.

Leahy believes the game of ladies football is evolving at an incredible pace and that female inter-county players would be better served if the LGFA adapted more of the GAA playing rules to the women’s game.
