With over fourteen thousand games being played in our county on an annual basis, the role of the referee is central in ensuring that all games take place. This year a Basic Club Referee Foundation Level 1 Training Course for new referees is planned for Pairc Ui Rinn over three nights in early March. The Course is developed in conjunction with Croke Park and conducted by trained Referee Instructors.

Dates for the Training Coarse are as follows
