A player may enter the opponents’ small rectangle:

DURING PLAY (FOOTBALL) - After the final play of the ball into the small rectangle

SET PLAY (FOOTBALL) - After the ball enters the small rectangle

HURLING - After the ball enters the small rectangle

(i) If an attacking player legally enters the small rectangle, and the ball is played from it but returned before the attacking player has time to leave, a foul is not committed if he does not play the ball or interfere with the defence.

(ii) When a point is scored and the ball is sufficiently high to be out of reach of the players and so long as the player in the small rectangle has not interfered with the defence then the point scored should be allowed.
