Central Council will vote to abandon the 50-metre penalty for infringing on a kick-out mark with a mind to it being introduced for the All-Ireland senior preliminary quarter-finals and Tailteann Cup semi-finals.

Delegates at the meeting in Croke Park were briefed on the proposal from the Football Review Committee, which they are to vote on via email in the coming days.
