The search for new referees is underway across the province and the next courses for new members of the Munster Association of Referees has been set for Monday November 14th, Tuesday November 15th, Saturday November 19th and Monday November 21st at four different locations throughout the province.

The course will be held in Dungarvan RFC, Tralee RFC, Cork Constitution FC and at Munster Rugby’s High Performance Centre at the University of Limerick.

You can register by emailing olly.hodges@irfu.ie.

These are the next round of courses after a course for new referees was held in Charleville at the end of August.

Rugby referees have the best seat in the house, and if keeping fit (referees run six miles in an 80 minute match), travelling, taking part in a lively social scene or getting an adrenaline rush is your idea of a great pastime, rugby refereeing could be for you.

As well as the obvious benefits, a referee’s constant study of the game enriches the enjoyment of this lifetime sport.

If you’re interested in taking the next steps and want to join the referee pathway, please register your interest with Munster Referee Development Manager Olly Hodges by email olly.hodges@irfu.ie or phone 086-8596289.
