** Key Points **
● Legal Block: After the attacking player takes his/her shot, they must remain still in front of or aside their opponent. This is not a hinder but a “Legal Block”.
● Legal Block Hinder: While attempting a “Legal Block” if the attacker moves away from the opposing player, not affecting his/her opponent’s line of sight or obstructing them from striking the ball, then this is a hinder. The referee has the option to let play continue, giving the attacking player the shot, if they wish to take it. If they decide to take the shot, the rally continues to a natural conclusion and no hinder is called.
● Legal Block Avoidable: While blocking if the blocking player moves in the direction of the opposing player, causing an obstruction to the line of sight, or obstructing the player from striking the ball, then this is an illegal block and an avoidable hinder is called.
● Referees: Loser will ref the next game
GAA Handball looks forward to welcoming everyone to what promises to be one of the most exciting Handball events every staged.
