Changes Could Be Made To Hurling Penalties

According to an article in the Irish Independent the Committee highlighted the issue and now the Playing rules standing committee are proposing that the ball be struck from the 20 metre line with no allowances for lifting the ball.

The GAA's Director of games Pat Daly says  it's now proposed to state clearly that the ball can be no closer than 20 metres from the goal-line when it's struck.

Daly added It will be up to the striker to decide how much further out he wants to place the ball in order to get momentum from tossing it forward but the strike must be made no closer than the 20-metre line.
