Mouthguards: Mouthguards are mandatory for players in all age grades, in all Gaelic football practice sessions and games. This rule has been mandatory for players in grades up to Minor since 2013 and applies to all age grades since January 1st 2014. It is the responsibility of each individual player to use a mouthguard. A properly fitted mouthguard is the best available protective device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries. Players can be sent-off in a game for not wearing a mouthguard. Players will not be covered under the GAA player injury scheme if they don’t comply with the mouthguard rule. No Mouthguard? No Game!
Last Man Standing: Going into Round 6 of the Allianz Football Leagues there are four people who remain in the clubs competition.
