Here a "fair shoulder" refers to a player-on-player challenge in GAA sports - Irish football and hurling.
Basically, the players can be quite rough in both these sports - not like English football, where the slightest bit of contact leads to the player on the ground - and shove each other out of the way when making a challenge. However, for their safety they can only make shoulder to shoulder contact and not, for example, shoulder to chest contact. That's considered a fair challenge in these sports and is known as a fair shoulder. Because it can be quite rough, I did mean it in the sense of "I shoved her out of my way with considerable force".
