THE GAA’S CENTRAL Council has changed the penalty for a foul on a player who catches a mark from a kickout, following a proposal from the Football Rules Committee [FRC].
The punishment has been changed from a 50m advanced free to a free on the spot where the foul occurs.
A GAA statement on Saturday confirmed the FRC had proposed the adjustment and The 42 understands it has been passed and comes into play for this weekend’s inter-county senior championship games.
Kerry v Cavan, Dublin v Cork, Down v Galway and Donegal v Louth are the All-Ireland SFC preliminary quarter-finals down for decision, with defending champions Armagh, Tyrone, Monaghan and Meath waiting in the last eight.
