Clock-hooter system will only be used for televised games as some grounds not ready

The FRC estimates that 25 - 30 grounds will use the system this summer.

The new clock and hooter system will only be used in Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup games which are either televised or streamed by GAA+.

An audit conducted by the GAA's Games Administration department and one of the companies which provides the system to the association found that some county grounds are not suited to its use.
