Between the linesperson and referee they gave a yellow to Vikki Wall for this. She was running forward at pace with 2 minutes to go as her team were down by a point. In the men's game this would be a black card for the Dublin player.

This is absolutely scandalous. Yes Dublin probably would have won the game. Yes it would have been a free in. But to allow this stand, the referee shouldn't be given another game in the championship.

This Gaelic football training game is 130% of Match Demands for High-Speed Running. Players will average 5 possessions per minute (versus 0.25 per minute in a 15v15 match). Add 2 goals at either end or use endzone if players stand blocking infront of goals. For 4v4 go to 60x20m.

201
On the 60x20m pitch players hit 117% of the relative high-speed running demands of an inter county player & 131% of the relative high-speed running demands of a club player✅. The frequency of technical actions are much higher in the SSGs versus match-play✅. Avg % HR Max: 86%✅
Great to have my latest PhD paper accepted for publication today in the International Journal of Performance Analysis in Sport. We analysed the physical, physiological and technical performance of Gaelic football players during 4v4 4 minute SSGs on 3 different pitch sizes.

Video of the incident, people on the sideline should not be getting involved pushing and hitting players.
Something needs to be done about who is allowed on the sideline at inter county matches. The Offaly Maor Uisce punched one of the Meath players mid way through the second half and was allowed to stay on the sideline for the rest of the match 🤷

✅Under Pressure,
✅Involve Decision Making,
✅Similar to a Match Scenario
This 2v2 drill involves a late runner. After shot, attackers become defenders. 1:3 Work to Rest Ratio = 120% Match Demands.

Lose the kickout battle, you normally lose the game. Dublin got 12 of 18 1st half scores v Meath from kickout possessions. 7 from their own & 5 from Meath’s kickouts. Meath allowed Dublin to win ball short but then didn’t know how to press in play, leaving their backs exposed.

Players visualise better on full pitches compared to SSGs. E.g. you may want your team to kick the ball in transition from/to certain areas. You may not have numbers for a full pitch game so break the move into 2 parts with smaller numbers. 9v9 or 8v8 works for this principle

Rather than doing a linear kick passing drill after a warm up, use a 5v3 or 5v2 to practice decision making, movement, scanning, and skill execution under pressure. There might be more mistakes initially but it will lead to longer-term improvements.

I'm a big fan of LSGs in warm ups. In Championship you might have 20-30 players togged out & only half a pitch to warm up. Many teams will do separate activities with starters & subs. This game mixes an SSG with a LSG to include all. Change rules to suit principles of play

Picks up the ball on his own 45m line. 5 right hand to left foot solos, 3 bounces from right hand all of which came when changing direction to evade contact and score from right foot just outside opposition 21m line under pressure. Great skill from Jack.
