At the launch of the 2013 Ladies Football Championships it was announced that RefCam will be used for the first time during the 40th TG4 Senior Ladies Football Championship.
RefCam will be pilot by TG4 throughout the championship and will be debuted in the Senior Championship Qualifier in July 27th.
The Refcam is a head mounted unit with the camera above the ear connected to a transmitter on a light weight vest that is worn under the standard jersey. The picture is then available live to the viewer at home to give a refs-eye view of the action.
It is hoped that the new piece of technology will be a hugely valuable piece of technology for the development and education of referees and has already proven to be a huge success in other codes.
RefCam will be used at the 40th Ladies All Ireland Finals due to be played in Croke Park on September 29th. Tweet
