Hawk-Eye on the blink

The GAA have allayed fears Hawk-Eye’s future in the sport is in trouble after it was suspended in Croke Park yesterday following a debatable decision in the All-Ireland minor semi-final.

In a statement last night, they said the technology is expected to be in operation again Sunday despite a bizarre incident in the first minute of the Galway-Limerick game in which referee Fergal Horgan referred to the score technology following a point attempt by Limerick’s Barry Nash.

Horgan had initially noted the first-minute effort as a score after one of his umpires raised a white flag but later ruled it out, having been contacted by the review official via his ear piece.
