Motion 41 aka 'The Mark' was passed at GAA congress on Saturday.

It just edged over the two-thirds majority required with a 68% yes vote.

The new rule, which could be introduced for this summer's Championship, allows a player who catches a ball from a kick-out past the 45m - without it touching the ground - to take a mark. He may then take a free kick or play on immediately.

Reaction to its introduction to the game has been mixed.

Many have questioned why it was not first trialled. The mark was trialled a number of years back during the league, though was not permanently introduced to the game.
