THE GAA

have updated match regulations ahead of next weekend’s recommencement of club fixtures. Some of the key points include: Only 24 players can partake in the matchday and enter the pitch enclosure but there is no limit on the size of a club matchday panel. A maximum of five (football) & seven (hurling) team officials shall be allowed within the pitch enclosure. No water carriers will be permitted but one water break will take place between the 15th and 20th minute in each half, at the referee’s discretion.
