Former Clare Hurling Captain Calls On GAA To Clamp Down On Head-High Tackles
A former Clare hurling captain has called for the GAA to urgently clamp down on head-high challenges to ensure player safety. It comes in the wake of Clare's 0-29 to 0-16 win over Dublin in the All Ireland Hurling Quarter Final. The result was marred by a serious injury suffered by David Reidy late in the second half. Tommy Guilfoyle says tackling a player in the act of picking up the ball needs to be outlawed.
