Players from counties knocked out of the 2024 championship will take part in a match trialling new rule proposals this week. The suggestions include four-points for a goal and 1v1 for all throw-ins.

The Jim Gavin-chaired Football Review Committee have amassed a host of new proposals to be trialled over the next month. It comes after over 5,000 survey responses, meetings with key stakeholders across the provincial councils, County Board Chairs, National Referee’s Committee and Ard Chomhairle members.
