FRC propose adjustment to 50m penalty for foul on player catching kick-out mark
The Football Review Committee has proposed a rule adjustment to remove the 50-metre penalty for a foul on a player who catches a kick-out mark. Central Council will now vote on the proposal and if passed the rule amendment will be operational for the All-Ireland senior football preliminary quarter-finals and the Tailteann Cup semi-finals. It was the standout news from this weekend's meeting of Central Council where an increase in league attendances was also announced. The GAA stated: 'Ard Chomhairle is to consider a proposed adjustment from the FRC to the penalty for a foul on a player who catches a mark from a kick-out to be changed from a 50m advanced free to a free on the spot where the foul occurs. READ MORE 'It was confirmed that there was a 24% increase in Allianz League gate receipts leading to an increased distribution to counties. 'Eligibility for the All-Ireland JFC, relating specifically to London and New York, is to remain unchanged for the 2026 competition. 'The following were added to the DRA Panel; Rory Conway and Niall Gallagher (both Legal Panel) and Liam McCabe (Cavan) and Joe Edwards (Antrim) (GAA Panel). 'A proposal from Comhairle Ard Oideachais to rename the cup awarded to the winners of the JHC as the 'Corn Darragh Mhic Cárthaigh, in memory of MTU Cork student Darragh McCarthy was passed. 'It was agreed that county boards will supply smart sliotars for semi-finals and finals in all county junior, intermediate and senior championships.'

Kerry outgun Cork to march into All-Ireland quarters
Siofra O'Shea and Danielle O'Leary struck for 2-04 and 1-02 respectively as Kerry produced a super second half to defeat a spirited Cork by seven points at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh and advance to the quarter-finals of the TG4 All-Ireland Championship. Kerry outscored Cork by 4-04 to 0--3 in a power-packed second period as the home side couldn't cope with the All-Ireland champions' intensity. Kerry, playing into the breeze, got off to the best possible start when Niamh Ní Chonchúir smashed the ball to the back of the net after two minutes. Danielle O'Leary nearly had a second goal a minute later but shot wide and Cork punished them when Aine O'Sullivan raised a green flag with a fine individual effort. Katie Quirke from a free and a Melissa Duggan shot that came off Mary Ellen Bolger's fingertips pushed Cork two ahead, although Siofra O'Shea replied with a free after a foul on O'Leary. Cork were the dominant team however and Hannah Looney sliced through for a point which was followed by a superb goal from Katie Quirke in the 15th minute to push Cork 2-06 to 1-01 ahead. Rosie Corkery, Abbie O'Mahony, and Laura O'Mahony added points before Kerry got a welcome brace of scores from an O'Shea free and substitute Caoimhe Evans. That left the Kingdom facing a more manageable 2-06 to 1-03 deficit at half-time. Quirke scored within seconds of the second-half throw-in but then Kerry got the goal they craved when after a fine turnover from Evans, O'Leary found O'Shea for a goal. Whereas Kerry were passive in the first half, they were now much more aggressive and O'Shea scored her second goal in the 38th minute after an exchange of passes with O'Leary. O'Shea added a free and O'Leary, now looking dangerous, scored from play, followed by points from O'Shea (free), O'Leary and O'Shea from play once more before Cork replied through Aoife Healy. The visitors lead by 4-07 to 2-09 with 46 minutes played. Another series of passes between O'Leary and O'Shea saw O'Leary finish for Kerry's fifth goal to finish off the Cork challenge. Kerry are now certain of a home quarter-final while Cork must travel to Mayo next weekend to keep their season alive. Scorers - Kerry: S O'Shea 2-04 (3f), D O'Leary 1-02, N Ní Chonchúir 1-00, R Dwyer 1-00, C Evans 0-01 Cork: K Quirke 1-02 (0-02f), A O'Sullivan 1-00, L O'Mahony 0-02, M Duggan 0-01, H Looney 0-01, R Corkery 0-01, A O'Mahony 0-01, A Healy 0-01 Kerry: ME Bolger; E Lynch, E Costello, F O'Donoghue; N Broderick, A O'Connell, C Lynch; M O'Connell, A Galvin; N Carmody, N Ní Chonchúir, N Quinn; D O'Leary, R Dwyer, S O'Shea.
