Discipline

Cards across 2026

Discipline data, being verified. Yellow, red and black card data is rarely published in gaa.ie match reports; we're cross-checking against county-board reports.

Trajectory

'24 → '25 → '26

Trajectory, awaiting editorial read. Two-year arc, what changed, what's coming next. This block is left for Rory to write rather than auto-generated from past-season data we haven't verified to the same standard as 2026.
