New Referees for Dublin Ladies Football

  • Aug 24,2008

The final day of the ‘Grab Your Whistle’ course in Dublin took place recently in Kilmacud Crokes.

Nine new referees qualified, with nine more just to finish the next final day, and they will now be seen on the pitches in the Capital throughout the summer. These referees were from a variety of clubs and the county is sure to benefit from their presence.

Grab Your Whistle is a three day course which took place on Saturday 28th June, Saturday 5th July and finally Monday 11th August. These new participants were ‘buddied’ with current referees in the county who gave them tremendous support throughout. Dublin County Board would like to wish these new referees all the best in the future and also thank Kilmacud for the use of their facilities throughout the programme. They would also like to thank the ‘Buddy’ referees for giving their time and guidance to the new recruits.

 The County Board will be hoping to run another ‘Grab Your Whistle’ course in the new year. If anyone is interested in participating on this course you can contact Lyn Savage, Dublin Regional Development Officer – 087 1316944 or lynsavage@ladiesgaelic.ie
