Before the Football Review Committee presented the direction they were taking Gaelic football, they first had to show us what was steering it. Over 7,000 survey responses ranked their top technical skills with a clear top five.

The responses were categorised and dissected in an extraordinarily detailed chapter of the FRC’s interim report. Kicking and catching scored highest, with long-range points third. General creative play and goal scoring rounded out the set.
