Nenagh Éire Óg’s motion on hand-passing was narrowly defeated at yesterday’s Tipperary GAA convention.
The North Tipp club tabled a motion calling for a change to the hand-passing rule in hurling to eliminate the throwing of the ball.
They proposed that it should be a foul “to either hand-pass the ball or palm the ball directly from the same hand that is holding the ball”.
Club delegates voted on the motion with 35 in favour of it, whilst 40 were against it, meaning the motion was defeated.
