Hawkeye will be used for the first time in Thurles for the Munster SHC meeting of Tipperary and Cork on May 22.

It will be the first time the score detection system will be used in an official capacity for a GAA game outside of Croke Park. It was trialled during Tipperary's home games in the Allianz Hurling League as well as in the Allianz Hurling League semi-finals between Clare and Kilkenny and Waterford and Limerick.

It's expected that a temporary big screen will be erected at Semple Stadium to indicate whether a shot has gone wide or through the posts.
