A 9-19 to 1-9 win and handpass limits: First look at Gaelic football’s experimental new rules
Among the small crowd in Santry on Thursday evening for a third-level league game trialling new experimental rules was a Trinity College masters student attending their first ever Gaelic football match.
The fact the fixture ended up as a cricket score (UCD 9-19 Trinity College 1-9) might have been puzzling enough, but how do you explain that UCD’s nine goals were worth 36 points in new money but only 27 in old money?
