Clare goalkeeper Patrick Kelly hopes that Hawk-Eye will be used in this year's hurling league final in Thurles.

There is speculation that the score detection technology will be trialled at Semple Stadium during the decider and, speaking to The Irish Independent, the Banner number one revealed: "We were talking about it on the way back on the bus.

"(Darach) Honan made out he got a point and he was looking for Hawk-Eye, putting the finger up so it's a good thing it can be used.

"TJ (Reid) was given a point the last day. The umpires said it was a point and it was actually wide. It's the fine margins.

"Last year we played Limerick and Shane Dowling admitted that the ball was wide.

"In fairness to the umpires, the ball is travelling that fast so there's a bit of pressure there but I think it's important that Hawk-Eye should be in use."
