A Special Congress will take place this Saturday

The Football Review Committee has suggested a change to gaelic football's two-point rule ahead of Saturday's Special Congress. The tweak would remove a loophole where a goalkeeper or a defender touching a shot from the two-point range before it goes over the bar makes it a one-point score. The FRC has also suggested play ending on the hooter at the conclusion of each half, unless a shot is in flight or a dead ball has been awarded.

It's expected the GAA will also back the Gaelic Players' Association's appeal for increased funding from the government.

The Camogie Association's CEO Sinéad McNulty has announced that she's stepping down after six years in the position. McNulty says she's 'immensely proud' of what was achieved during her 'incredible journey' in the role. With talks continuing around integration with the GAA, her departure follows Helen O'Rourke's decision to step down as the LGFA's chief executive at the end of the year.
