The GAA will not make a call on HawkEye being used in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling final until later in the week.

It is understood that hurling calibrations were not the reason behind the erroneous decision to rule out Shane Walsh’s 45 towards the end of the first half in Saturday’s Galway-Derry All-Ireland SFC semi-final. GAA officials later suspended the score detection technology for the second half and restored the point, which had initially been awarded by umpires.
