Cork beat Dublin by a single point in the All-Ireland ladies football final at Croke Park.
It was a close game for the majority of the encounter, one where every score mattered.
There was controversy in the 22nd minute when Dublin's Carla Rowe had a point ruled wide by the umpire when it clearly crossed inside the post of the Cork goal.
Why is Hawkeye not used in ladies football?
Unlike the men's game, referring the decision to Hawk-Eye was not an option for referee Brendan Rice.
A spokesperson for the LGFA told RTÉ after the game that the system was not being used because the association wants a 'level playing field'.
It went in front of Central Council, whether or not to use Hawk-Eye, earlier on this year.
The decision was taken that in order to have a level playing field for all teams playing on all fields throughout the country, throughout the championship, that we wouldn’t use Hawk-Eye.
That explanation for Hawk-Eye not being used differs from the one LGFA president Marie Hickey gave last year.
Speaking ahead of the 2015 All-Ireland final, which was also between Cork and Dublin, Hickey said that use of Hawk-Eye in the women's game would have meant recalibration of the system. That is because ladies football uses a size four ball whereas it is a size five in the men's game.
We did discuss it. But we decided not to go with it this year, we’re going to look at it again for next year [2016].
At the time, when we looked at it, we realised that there had to be a recalibration for the size of our ball and that would actually have taken longer than the time-frame that we had.
There’s a cost factor as well, obviously, so we’ll look at it again next year.
The spokesperson added that this year's decision had nothing to do with recalibration of the Hawk-Eye system or the associated cost.
Dublin manager Gregory McGonigle told RTÉ after the game that ladies football expects the same standards at the men.
We expect the same as the men. If that was a hurling game or a men's football game and there was a point, we'd be going to Hawkeye. Obviously Ladies Football have to answer the question - to Dublin and our players and their families who have sacrificed as much as the girls have - why do we not have Hawkeye?
