Barry Kelly: 'It's good for hurling that football will be the rule change guinea pig'

A member of the referees development committee, Kelly was impressed by a recent FRC presentation given by chairman Jim Gavin

Referee Barry Kelly during the GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Championship Semi-Final match between Galway and Tipperary at Croke Park in Dublin. 

Four-time All-Ireland SHC final referee Barry Kelly says hurling should wait and see what the upcoming rule changes work for football before implementing them.

Among the Football Review Committee (FRC) long-list of considerations is the clock/hooter which, if they recommend in their final list of enhancements, former GAA president Nickey Brennan believes would have to come in for hurling too.
