GAA pay tribute to Fermanagh shooting victims at All-Ireland football final
The GAA have paid tribute to the victims of a fatal shooting in Maguiresbridge with a minute's applause at Croke Park ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland SFC final. Vanessa Whyte, who was 45, and her children, Sara (13) and James (14) died after they were shot at their home in the Co Fermanagh village on Wednesday. A male who also suffered gunshot wounds remains in a serious condition in hospital. Vanessa Whyte and her children were active members of two local GAA teams. In separate statements on Wednesday night, both St Mary's Maguiresbridge Gaelic Football Club and Lisbellaw St Patrick's Hurling Club offered "heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those impacted by the tragic incident. Vanessa Whyte and her children, Sarah and James "We are working with the GAA at county, provincial and national level, to implement the Association's critical incident protocols. We will work closely with all appropriate services to ensure that those who require support at this difficult time can access it. "The deceased were all active and beloved members of our club. We will not be making any further comment at this difficult time." A murder investigation has been launched, and police are probing a triple murder and attempted suicide line of inquiry. Ahead of today's All-Ireland SFC final at Croke Park between Donegal and Kerry, a minute's applause was warmly received with a picture of the mother and children displayed on the big screen at Croke Park. Ulster champions Donegal, managed by Jim McGuinness, are hoping to win their third All-Ireland title today as they take on Jack O'Connor's Kerry, who are bidding to win the Sam Maguire Cup for the 39th time.

Further Gaelic football rule changes possible before 2026
Jim Gavin says that new rules, including the four-point goal, could still be part of the 2026 All-Ireland football season as the Football Review Committee prepares to write its final report on this season's changes for the GAA. Other changes, such as preventing a team retreating into their own half once they've crossed the halfway line, could still become rules in Gaelic football in the future. Some of the biggest changes this year have seen the introduction of the two-point arc 40 metres from goal, keeping players in the opposition half at all times, and banning back passes to goalkeepers. But Gavin, who became the first manager to guide a team to five senior All-Ireland titles in 2019 with Dublin, says that the FRC's work isn't done yet. "It is possible," Gavin said when asked by The Sunday Game host Joanne Cantwell whether new rules could be brought in. "Nothing is agreed until it's agreed - they're temporary rules." More from Jim Gavin with some fascinating updates on the rule changes 📺 📱 📻 — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) July 27, 2025 And Gavin went on to say that a sandbox game on Wednesday, involving Dublin clubs Round Towers and Fingallians, will see some potential new rules being tried. "It's at 7:30 in Abbotstown, to look at more... at feedback we're getting through surveys. The four-point goal, if a team crosses the halfway line, they can't go back. "Look at Louth in the Leinster final against Meath. They brought the ball back into their own half and there was some suggestion that it might encourage teams to push out if they know they can't go back into their own half. "I don't want to have people concerned that there's going to be radical change. Our job, as the FRC, is to do as much research as we can in the time that we're given. "We have to produce a report for Central Council in early September. We're going to be writing it in a couple of weeks times so we're at the very final stages now." Jim Gavin joins us with some praise for the FRC changes and a grilling from our panel 📺 📱 📻 — The Sunday Game (@TheSundayGame) July 27, 2025 And while the FRC will be wound up shortly, Gavin says he would like to see the GAA be able to make tweaks, where they're needed, without having to set up another rules review group like the one he has been chairperson of. "Only every five years the clubs can propose changes to the rules," he pointed out. "In those five years, the standing committee on playing rules... As we've seen when kickout mark was introduced, that was introduced in that gap. "Our belief is that the standing committee on playing rules needs to agile enough. If they see that the game needs to change, not to wait for another FRC to come around in 2035, to make changes as necessary."
