GAA back all six amendments to football rules

Amendments to the clock/hooter regulations mean the end of each half will only be confirmed when the ball has gone over the sideline or there has been a score or a wide or after a 45 has been taken. Pic: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile

All six tweaks put forward by the Football Review Committee (FRC) have been passed by Central Council.

The changes will come into effect from this weekend’s Allianz Football League Round 6 fixtures and counties have a deadline of May 1 to introduce them.
