THE LIMERICK COUNTY Board have expressed their disappointment at the CCCC ruling earlier this evening which stated they were ‘precluded’ from hearing the county’s objection to the result of their All-Ireland minor hurling semi final with Galway last Sunday.
In a statement issued this evening the Board said; “Luimneach CLG wish to express their disappointment with the outcome of the objection lodged with the CCCC based on the acknowledged failure of the Hawk-Eye score detection system.
“We can confirm we will pursue the matter through all available channels and, to this end, we will now be lodging an appeal to the Central Appeals Committee.”
Earlier today, the CCCC said they were precluded from dealing with Limericks objection under Rule 7.10 (n) which states:
“No objection or counter-objection maybe submitted on grounds that a referee had incorrectly allowed or failed to allow a score.”
Limerick’s objections relate to a malfunction in Hawk-Eye which meant a Barry Nash score early in the game was signaled as a miss by the technology despite a host of evidence to the contrary.
