‘Hawk-Eye’ set for GAA club finals

THE HAWK-EYE technology is set for a trial run at the All-Ireland senior club hurling and football finals on St Patrick’s Day with its inventor, Paul Hawkins, yesterday visiting Croke Park to carry out an advance study.

The company’s operations director Steve Carter confirmed Hawkins had flown to Dublin with a view to setting up the technology in time to showcase and possibly use for the club finals on March 17.

“We’ve sent Paul Hawkins over to Ireland and he’s carrying out a reccie of Croke Park to make sure that when all the equipment goes in there everything will work when we eventually turn up to install,” said Carter yesterday.
