Tipperary’s two-time All-Ireland SHC winner Conor O’Donovan says hurling’s integrity will be on the line when Congress delegates vote on his motion to change the hand-pass on Saturday.

O’Donovan has campaigned since 2018 for the GAA to stamp out thrown hand-passes in the game. He is proposing that the transfer of the ball from the holding hand be prohibited.
