Clare's Patrick Kelly welcomes HawkEye to Thurles

Clare goalkeeper Patrick Kelly has given a wholehearted backing to HawkEye’s introduction to Thurles.

Tipperary County Board and Semple Stadium officials have been told the score detection technology is ready to go and the famous venue will shortly become the GAA’s second venue to benefit from the system after Croke Park.

It now could come into operation for either Clare’s Division 1 final meeting with Waterford on Sunday week or the Tipperary-Cork Munster SHC semi-final on May 22.
