Curley: Match officials won’t engage in Hawk-Eye debate

REFEREES’ chief Mick Curley said that while it was clear Alan McCrabbe’s early ‘point’ for Dublin against Offaly on Sunday should have been signalled wide, match officials would not be getting involved in the Hawk-Eye technology debate.

Curley, chairman of the National Referees Committee (NRC), admitted the effort in the early stages of the Leinster championship game at Croke Park should have been waved wide.

“We would accept it was wrongly flagged. The ball was wide and it was a wrong call,” said Curley.
