Stack urges review of ladies football two-point arc August 03, 2026Galway's Leanne Coen with Niamh Ní Chonchúir of Kerry during the All-Ireland ladies SFC final at Croke Park ©INPHO/Grace Halton Galway's Leanne Coen with Niamh Ní Chonchúir of Kerry during the All-Ireland ladies SFC final at Croke Park ©INPHO/Grace HaltonCork great Brid Stack says that the new 40-metre two-point arc needs to be brought in “a little bit closer” in order to be effective in ladies football. The new rule for a two-pointer in the ladies game was introduced at the start of this season but has not become a mainstay in the same way which it has in the men’s game. Speaking on The Sunday Game after yesterday’s All-Ireland ladies SFC final which saw Galway defeating Kerry by a point, Stack said that the two-pointer “isn’t a threat at this point in the ladies game”. There's obviously going to be a review again after this year but the two-point threat isn't a threat at this point in the ladies game. But Kerry still didn't have the ability to pop it in and over the D and find that little pocket of space."
