Sean Walsh gives thumbs up for move on TMO

The introduction of a TV match official in Gaelic games has taken a step closer after the idea was wholeheartedly endorsed by inter-county referees.

National referees development committee chairman Sean Walsh revealed the leading referees in Gaelic football and hurling believe they would be greatly assisted by the presence of a TMO in games.

As things stand, there are HawkEye review officials in Croke Park but their briefs are restricted to the score detection technology. Walsh has changed his mind on the subject having seen how HawkEye has helped the games.
