Fitzgibbon Hosts Affiliated Referee Course

IRFU Referee Development Officer and International Rugby Referee Peter Fitzgibbon presented an IRFU affiliated referee course last evening at Presentation Brothers College, Cork.

The course, coordinated by Munster Rugby's Coach Development Department was attended by 16 coaches representing PBC, Bandon Grammar, Midleton College, Midleton RFC and Sundays Well RFC.

The Workshop is provided for people who are appointed to referee by their club or school due to the unavailability of Branch referees.

The primary purposes of the Course it to give club and school affiliated referees a good understanding of the main priority areas of refereeing with the emphasis on safety. It is designed to explain and simplify the Laws of the Game and to focus on their practical application and safety aspects.
