The GAA has revealed that Hawkeye will not be in operation for today’s All-Ireland senior football championship quarter-finals at Croke Park.
It comes after the scoring detection system returned a ‘data unavailable’ message during extra time in yesterday’s clash between Armagh and Monaghan at the same venue.
In a statement released ahead of this afternoon’s games at headquarters, the GAA said the following:
“During the Armagh v Monaghan game yesterday the Hawkeye score detection system returned a ‘data unavailable’ message.
“The GAA requested an explanation from Hawkeye who concluded that the message was a result of operator error.
“The GAA is happy that the system review confirmed the on-field decision by the referee taken at the time.
“However, the GAA has decided to stand down the use of the system today to allow Hawkeye to undertake a more thorough review in the coming week.”
