5 Munster Referees recently completed the Munster Referee Academy and subsequently officiated in this year’s Munster Minor Championships.
The referees are Eoghan O’Muircheartaigh (Dingle, Kerry), Sean Walsh (De La Salle, Waterford), David Deady (Bruree, Limerick), Alan Tierney (Shannon Rovers, Tipperary) and Shane Scanlon (Newcestown, Cork).
The Munster Academy steered a determined pathway which involved guiding the selected candidates through an intensive six week program of carefully designed workshop topics which were tailored to help each candidate make the transition from club refereeing to intercounty refereeing.
The referees were presented with their certificates at a function in Killarney on Friday September 22nd by Munster GAA Chairman Ger Ryan and Munster Referees Committee Chairman Michael Wadding.
Congratulations to Shane Scanlon (Newcestown) on receiving his Munster Referee Academy Certificate.

We are pleased to announce that the Cork GAA Referee’s Committee will be hosting a training course for new referees in September.
The Referee Training Course will take place at two venues – Mallow for Avondun and Duhallow divisional referees on September 11th and 18th, and in SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on September 14th and 21st.
The County Referees’ training team will be hosting the event and will equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge required to officiate matches at various levels. The program is designed to provide an immersive and dynamic learning experience, with seasoned referees and instructors on hand. More information about the course will be shared closer to the time for all who register their interests.
If you’re interested in attending the Referee Training Course, you can register HERE to secure your spot.
