John Bannon: Championship grounds now need HawkEye

One-sided games usually have no major talking points and that was more or less the case for the three televised hurling games this weekend.

At the Gaelic Grounds yesterday, Pádraic Maher was correctly penalised for charging, although Limerick goalkeeper Barry Hennessy was just as guilty of the same offence in the 52nd minute in an incident involving Seamus Callanan, which saw the Tipperary player requiring treatment for a cut.

Shot attempts in the 19th and 48th minutes show the need for HawkEye at county grounds where there are championship games. Limerick have been calling for it to be implemented there and yesterday provided further proof.
