CAMOGIE PLAYERS WILL be permitted to use the shoulder-to-shoulder challenge as the association announces six rule changes which will be trialled in the upcoming season.
Advertisement A statement on the Camogie Association website states that “players will be allowed to tackle opponents using shoulder-to-shoulder contact from a side-on position.” In addition to the introduction of the shoulder tackle, the Camogie Association is also permitting the use of the mark. “The player who catches the ball cleanly on or past the 45m line, must immediately call a mark by holding the sliotar in outstretched arm above their head and will be awarded a mark by the referee, signalled by the referee’s whistle.”
