Senior League

Clontibret 0-10, ‘Blayney 1-7. A close dogged affair played in awful conditions ended level. ‘Blayney came from behind but it could have gone either way in the end.

Clontibret 1-10, Latton 2-12.

Rule Change
Playing Rules: Change to Square Ball Rule – Football Only

At GAA Annual Congress in Kilenard, Laois on Saturday April 14, 2012, a change was made to the Square ball rule in Football only. This change will become operative in all club and intercounty games from May 14 next. We would ask that you notify all club players and coaches of the change below and the relevant implementation date.
Football Only – “Square Ball”
This has been amended to allow a player enter the small rectangle once the final deliberate play of the ball has been made, i.e. as soon as the player kicks, hand-passes, fist passes or deliberately flicks the ball into the small rectangle then the attacking player may enter. The rule is unchanged with regard to “Set Play” i.e. Free Kicks, Line Balls and 45s – in these instances players are not permitted to enter the small rectangle before the ball.
The full text of the new rule is:
Rule 4.9 Official Guide Part 2 – Rules of Foul Play – Rule 4 Technical Fouls:
“For an attacking player to enter opponents’ small rectangle:
(a) During Play (excluding Set Play), before the final play of the ball into the small rectangle
(b) In Set Play, before the ball enters the small rectangle.
Exception:
(i) If an attacking player legally enters the small rectangle, and the ball is played from that area but is returned before the attacking player has time to leave the area, provided he does not play the ball or interfere with the defence, a foul is not committed.
(ii) When a point is scored from outside the small rectangle and the ball is sufficiently high to be out of reach of all players, the score shall be allowed even though an attacking player may have been, otherwise illegally, within the small rectangle before the ball – provided that the player in question does not interfere with the defence.”

Senior League

Clontibret 0-13, Scotstown 0-7. We got our first two points of the senior league at the weekend with a good victory over Scotstown.

They followed this up with a much more spirited performance in the league at the weekend but in the end went down to a stronger Scotstown team. They fought determinedly and showed great character, despite missing a couple of players, one of whom was Darragh Hughes who was unlucky in the Emyvale game.

The Division 6 team also lost out narrowly to Clones in the league on Saturday despite competing well and giving a great account of themselves. The  next game for the Division 6 team will be against Truagh on Saturday, 5^th May in Truagh, while the Division 1 team have to wait until 19^th May for their next outing, again against Emyvale.
