Cameras fail to clear up Limerick ‘goal’ controversy

RTÉ cameras did not conclusively prove Limerick should have had a goal disallowed against Westmeath, according to the GAA’s national games administration and national match officials manager Pat Doherty.

Early in the second half of Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling championship round one qualifier, referee Paud Dwyer’s umpire awarded a goal to Paul Browne, believing the ball to have passed inside the post before going beneath the side-netting.

However, RTÉ’s video footage indicates the ball may instead have gone wide. The score put Limerick five points up after they led by two at half-time.
