What’s next for hurling? Check out some of the new hurling amendments to be trialled in the HEC Leagues this year! 🔎📝

It shall be a technical foul, resulting in a free to the opposing team, for a player to execute a handpass, having received a handpass from a teammate. The free shall be from where the player executed or attempted to execute the second consecutive handpass.

When a player is in possession of the ball it may be:
Carried in the hand for a maximum of six consecutive steps or held in the hand for no longer than the time needed to take six steps.

The referee, facing the players starts the game and re-starts it after half-time by throwing the ball along the ground between one player from each team, in their own defensive sides of the halfway line. A second player from each team shall stand on opposite sidelines at the halfway line. The second players shall swap sidelines for the 2nd half throw-in. All other players shall be in their respective positions behind the 45m lines.

When a team is picking out the ball, three players from each team must remain between the 45 metre line (nearest the player pucking out the ball) and the 21 metre line (nearest the player pucking out the ball).

65 metre frees are taken from the line situated 65 metres from a team’s own goal.

Two points are scored when a sideline is struck over the crossbar between the posts provided no other player from that player’s team has touched the ball.
