Dozens of people have participated in a weekend of Referee & Judge education in Connacht, administered by National Registrar, Stephen Connolly.
Kindly hosted by Castlebar Boxing Club, Mayo, the seminar was commissioned by Connacht Provincial Council and was held in conjunction with Mayo County Board’s U15 competition.
New Judges from 10 clubs were trained on Saturday. Three referees completed the theory part of their training, while 32 people from 15 clubs took part in an officiating refresher course on Sunday.
New referees and judges will have their practical assessments at the Connacht Championships in February and March.
