Decision on Hawk-Eye to be made after full testing this week

The GAA has confirmed a full report into the issues relating to problems with the score detection technology in use in Croke Park last weekend has been received from Hawk-Eye.

"The GAA's report found a "combination of unrelated issues, including minor hardware failures, led to an erroneous finding for a score towards the end of the first half of the first GAA Football semi-final, which was promptly queried by match officials who subsequently took the decision to award the score".

It states that "full end to end testing of the system" will take place this week, after which a final decision will be made as to the deployment of the system for Sunday’s GAA hurling final.

"Hawk-Eye also confirmed there were "no historical issues" with the system.

"The problems experienced relate to last Saturday only and specifically to the Hill 16 end goal for that specific moment in time."

The GAA says it is undertaking a full review of its own protocols relating to when and how the system should be stood down if similar challenges are to arise in the future.
