Maher is some hurler! The rotation and tactics used stifled Thomas’s who missed too many chances.
S’neil really gave Ballyhale their full of it, and bar big Fennelly S’neil were the better team for a lot of the game!
Someone needs to tell referees about the 4 steps rule
They could but a lot of refs are happy enough to allow extra steps when defenders are hanging off an attacker when going in on goal
technical rules still have to be refereed
If the player threw the ball to a teammate while being fouled, what would the ref do?
Throw ball and taking more than four steps (or the time it takes for more than four steps

) are still fouls and no one is saying it isn't, some ref's will enforce the rules as THEY see fit and some teams catch on very quickly to push the limits, if you ever played you'd have done they same, test the ref, see what he's going to allow you to get away with, and providing he's consistent with his application with both teams then it shouldn't be a problem.
The 4 step rule needs looked at, the speed players are moving at in comparison to before is different. If 6 steps was enforced strictly rather than the currently loosely over 4 steps rule then you might get some headway.
4 steps is probably unfair too, my four steps won't make the same distance as someone at 6"2 so a time period possibly rather than 4 steps or 6
The one thing that neutrals are not discussing at these games is how many steps did he take? Its celebrating the scores the hooks the blocks the tackling, yesterdays games had that in spades, great to see up close
