IN AN effort to improve the conduct of mentors in underage hurling games, Bord na nÓg Iomaint have issued new regulations to be observed with immediate effect.
Every club secretary was subsequently emailed a letter advising of the new rules that ban managers, coaches or selectors from entering the field of play unless to attend an injured player, give drinks or provide a replacement hurley.
Also mentors are also ruled out from carrying a hurley while on the sideline during a match.
‘The carrying of a hurley by a men tor can be very intimidating to young players and will not be permitted.’
‘The referees have been made aware of the Bord na nÓg requirements.
“We would ask you to ensure that all of your mentors observe them and cooperate with referees, who have been asked to report any instances where transgressions occur.
Where such reports are received, Bord na nÓg will apply appropriate sanctions,’ the letter concluded.
