Westmeath refuse to support move to tackle cynicism in hurling
Motion at next weekend’s GAA Congress will not be supported by Westmeath.

Former All-Ireland referee Barry Kelly, Westmeath GAA Head of Operations Patrick Doherty and Westmeath Central Council delegate Tom Hunt.
Westmeath has sensationally shot down a move to tackle cynicism in hurling, calling for greater consideration and more time to be given before rule changes are made.
A motion at next weekend’s GAA Congress which aims to eradicate blatant pulling down of an opponent in hurling by awarding a penalty will not be supported by Westmeath, who instead will call for the matter to be deferred to a Special Congress later in the year.
