It is believed that HawkEye was in use for Sunday’s All-Ireland U20 hurling final between Kilkenny and Limerick although the system was not called upon to clear up a controversial first-half score for the eventual champions.

The game was decided in Kilkenny’s favour by a single point but there was considerable debate over one of their scores when Paddy Langton’s 20th-minute point attempt was met by the hurl of Limerick goalkeeper Conor Hanley Clarke just over the crossbar.
