One-on-one penalties is to be trialled in the upcoming pre-season provincial hurling competitions.
The Munster and Leinster Councils have agreed to trial a proposal on the penalty puck in which only the goalkeeper may stand on the goal-line.
The proposal comes from the Hurling 2020 Review Committee, which is chaired by former Tipperary manager, Liam Sheedy.
The Committee's full report will be published in early January.
