GAA working group to look at use of handpass in hurling via IrishTimesSport
“They have been tasked as a small group with complementing their membership with one or two others to give this issue thorough examination and look at a range of options that could be brought forward to address this.
A valid pass is meant to feature two distinct movements, a ‘release’ and a ‘striking action’. Instead intercounty matches frequently showcase transfers that are effectively ‘throws’, which are prohibited under rule in both football and hurling. “Before that we should consider other options, like clarification of existing wording. I’d be satisfied the working group will come forward with proposals that reflect the broad range of opinions.”
“Referees can’t be sure whether there’s a striking action or not and they let a lot go but if they started to penalise it there’d be uproar. Get rid of the ambiguity.
