The call is open to both males and females who would like to take the general refereeing path.

If keeping fit (referees run 6-8km in a match), travelling, taking part in a lively social scene or getting an adrenaline rush from the best seat in the house is your idea of a pastime, rugby refereeing could be for you.

A new referees course will be taking place on Saturday 1st December, 9.30am-4.30pm, at Newforge Country Club.

To register an interest, or for more information, contact Richard Kerr on Richard.Kerr@irfu.ie / 07493 868388.
