Senior 144706.45.6
  • Line width is normally 75mm
  • In-goal lines are the same width as the posts
  • Dimensions are to the outside of the lines
  • The height of the post cross bars should be 3m to the top of the bar
  • The flag posts that denote the field of play are a minimum height of 1.2m wiht a non-pointed top. Flag posts must be positioned at the intersection of touch-in-goal lines and the goal lines and at the intersection of the touch-in-goal lines and the dead ball lines.  These eight flag posts are outside the in-goal area and do not form part of the playing area.  Flag posts must be positioned in line with the 22-metre lines and the half way line, 2 metres outside the touchlines and within the playing enclosure.
  • Goal and touchlines are out of the field of play.
  • Pitch run-offs should be 5m where practicable.
