NEW PLAYING RULES IN EFFECT FOR MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
Summary of Playing Rule Changes 2010
The GAA Congress 2010 passed a number of playing rule changes relevant to football and hurling which will come into effect in all games played on or after May 15th 2010. In total there are six changes specific to football only and three specific to hurling, while a further six changes affect both codes, A summary of the changes is as follows:
Football Only:
1. Handpass – If a player handpasses the ball using the open hand, there must be a definite underhand striking action.
2. Penalty Kicks – All penalty kicks will now be taken from 11 metres out
3. Kick Outs – All kick outs will now be from the 13 metre line
4. Sideline kicks – Line balls must be kicked from outside the boundary line
5. Illegal Charge - It is illegal for a charge to be made on a player kicking the ball.
6. Definition of bounce - The redefinition of the bounce has the effect that the “Basketball Type”, bounce, per se, is not a foul.
Hurling only:
1. Puck Outs - The penalty for taking a puck-out from outside the small rectangle is changed from the award of a 65m free to the opposition to a throw in the ball on the defenders’ 20m line.
2. Handpass - The ball must be released and struck with a definite striking action of the hand
3. Penalties - Both attackers and defenders must remain outside the 20m line and the arc until the ball is struck from a penalty and the three defenders on the line must not move off the line until the ball is struck.
Both Hurling and Football:
1. Restarting Play – If play is stopped by the referee to enable a seriously injured player to be treated, play will now resume with a free to the team that had possession. However it will not be permitted to score from such a free (if neither team is “in possession”, play shall re-start with a throw in)
2. Throw ins – when the play is being restarted by a throw-in, this must take place a minimum of 13 metres from the sideline
3. Advantage – A referee will now signal that advantage is being played by raising his arm
4. Extra Time – Extra time consists of 10 minutes per half only. The provision for two additional periods of 5 minutes per half has been removed
5. Boundary Lines – The penalty for a player deliberately going outside the boundary lines of the pitch to gain an advantage has changed from a caution to a free.
6. Charge – A charge is now defined as “shoulder to shoulder” rather than “side to side”

For Saoirse Donna Ryan, Paula Byrne and Tracy lynch tried hard.
Na Fianna 1-13 Naomh Padraig 2-06

TREACYS CLAIM FOOTBALL FINAL IN THRILLER
SEAN TREACYS 1-08 ULSTER 0-09
The width of the crossbar was all that stood between Ulster and a last gasp St Patrick's Cup victory in a pulsating game played in front of a fine crowd at Treasure Island on Sunday. The game was played at a frantic pace from the beginning with Treacys cancelling out Ulsters first point and then adding a well taken goal from Dermot Foley who was causing Ulsters defence problems anytime he gained possesion. Ulster goalie Benny Higgins who had a fine 60 mins in goal displayed the reflexes of a cat when denying Liam 'willie" Faherty when a goal seemed certain. Howie Hughes was then called into action in the Treacys goal to deny Mick McCann from point blank range, the rebound was rifled off the crossbar and eventually put over for a point by Paraic Duffy who racked up several points over the hour for Ulster in a fine display. At the half the teams were tied at 1-02 - 0-05.
The second half was more of the same with some great tussles being played out all over the field. Treacys were edging the midfield battle with Pa "mental" Turnbull putting in his best showing in a Treacys shirt for some time. Steve Barron kicked a 50 yarder early in the second half and points from Faherty, Foley and Nick Dineen putting Treacys into a 2 point lead with time almost up. Wave after wave of Ulster attacks marshalled by Greg Loughran and Simon Maxwell were repelled by Paudie Allen, Steve Barron and Gus Smith, eventually almost 3 minutes into elapsed time Ulster shook the crossbar with what would surely have been the winner, and Treacys were relieved to hear Joe Corcoran's final whistle.
Over the hour Treacys had the advantage in the possesion game however Ulster were more economical and efficient in turning possesion into scores. For Ulster Mark Cunningham, Simon Maxwell, Greg Loughran and Paraic Duffy excelled. For Treacys Paudie Allen, Ciaran Bergin, Pa Turnbull (MVP), Steve Barron and Dermot Foley all played big roles.
Referee Joe Corcoran's handling of the game was assured and consistent and contributed hugely to an entertaining game.
