Goal-line tech moves closer

GOAL-LINE technology could be implemented in time for next year’s All-Ireland championships if a presentation on the Hawkeye system is received favourably by the GAA’s Management Committee next month.

GAA Head of Games Pat Daly yesterday revealed that both the Hawkeye and catching nets systems have been examined by a research committee and the Hawkeye system will now go before the GAA’s Management Committee where issues like costing will be addressed.

If the system gets the green light there, it could then go forward to next April’s Congress in Mullingar and come into action next summer.
