Premier Intermediate Final: Ballincollig v Dungourney (2pm)

Referee: Niall Fahy (Brian Dillons)

Niall began refereeing in 2022, after finishing up playing. He credits the Seandún divisional board and a number of referee administrators for their encouragement, and says he had great examples to follow in his own club.

His highlights so far include the 2024 Intermediate A Hurling final and the 2024 Seandún Junior A Hurling final. This year he also took charge of a Munster championship game in Semple Stadium.

Wayne refereed Glen Rovers’ round 3 win over Fr O’Neill’s in Carrig in September. He has handled county finals at almost every level, in Cork and in Clare.
