Hawkeye and camogie set for Croke Park debut

No more debates about whether it was a point or a wide.

WE’RE USED TO Hawkeye at Croke Park at this stage for hurling and Gaelic football action.

Now camogie is getting set to embrace the score detection technology system.

The Camogie Association have confirmed that Hawkeye will be in use at next Sunday’s All-Ireland finals.

Hawk-Eye was first activated at the Leinster senior football quarter-finals double header on 1 June 2013 and was trialled for 14 months prior to coming into use.

Next Sunday’s triple-header of camogie action sees reigning champions Cork take on Galway in the senior decider.

The intermediate final will be a battle between Kildare and Waterford while it’s Roscommon against Laois in the premier junior showdown.

“It is an exciting element to add to our All-Ireland finals,” said Camogie Association President Catherine Neary.

“The data collected will prove valuable from a coaching and games point of view and also an enhanced spectator experience.”

These 6 players will fight it out for the GAA player of the month awards for August

    Great second half from Limerick, but they’d want to sort out those wides.

    Take nothing away from Limerick, I think the whole country would like to see them do well. But as a Tipp supporter, how James McGrath can officiate at this level concerns me. He is getting even the most basic decisions wrong and is so inconsistent to how he applies the rules. Just rid of Kirwan after years of bias and now we have to watch this clown ruining games.

    @Dave Russell: I think the standard is poor across the board but i suppose it is a thankless job. Is there a case to look at two referees on the pitch at either end.

    Very poor referee? Compliments to both teams that the game didn’t boil over?
