Hurling’s new dissent rules comes into effect for club and county games this weekend. Previously, a player that argued or complained about a referee’s decision would be punished by the free being brought forward 13m. In the event that dissent continues, a player is to be issued a yellow card. The personal sanctions fall under the category of misconduct at games by team officials and range from yellow to red cards. Cork’s Ben O’Connor and Limerick’s John Kiely have welcomed the on-field dissent rule change.
