Rule change will encourage more skilful defending - O Callaghan

Former Dublin attacker David ‘Dotsy’ O’Callaghan feels the introduction of the new rule in hurling which penalises the denial of goal-scoring opportunities will encourage more skilful defending in the game.
At the end of last month, Congress passed the motion which means that a cynical foul committed inside the 20m line or semi-circle that denies a clear goal scoring opportunity, in either hurling or football, will result in a ten-minute sin-bin for the offending player and a penalty for the attacking team.
