Peter Canavan and Maurice Deegan appointed to Football Review Committee

The pair will replace Malachy O’Rourke and Michael Murphy.

TYRONE GREAT PETER Canavan and former inter-county referee Maurice Deegan have been appointed to the GAA’s Football Review Committee [FRC].

The move was announced following a meeting of the GAA’s Central Council at Croke Park, with the duo replacing Malachy O’Rourke and Michael Murphy who have both returned to the inter-county game.

O’Rourke is the new manager of the Tyrone footballers, while Murphy has rejoined the Donegal panel, putting an end to his two years in inter-county retirement.

Meanwhile, former Dublin hurling manager Humphrey Kelleher has been appointed to the Hurling Development Committee.

    Not sure if a former ref has a place on it, surely his remit is a different thing altogether.

    @James Cronin: The issue here James is, we as Refs, have to ensure we can apply these rule changes, which is currently looking like a very difficult task at club level. Take for example the regular situation of refereeing matches without a line on the pitch. Local Cork Referees have already withdrawn from the football panel.
