Sean Walsh says inter-county referees keen on calls for TMOs

Inter-county referees will step up their support for the introduction of a TV match official in the coming months.

In December, national referees development chairman Sean Walsh revealed a seminar of Gaelic football and hurling’s leading match officials had given a ringing endorsement to the presence of a TMO official at games.

Walsh had initially been sceptical of the need for a TMO but has been convinced by its appeal in the wake of how HawkEye score detection technology has benefitted games.
