Shannon Hosts Affiliate Referee Course

IRFU Referee Development Officer and International Rugby Referee Peter Fitzgibbon recently presented an IRFU affiliated referee course in Shannon RFC clubhouse.

The course, co-ordinated by Munster Rugby's Coach Development Department, was attended by 23 coaches representing clubs and schools from Limerick city and surrounding areas.

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 is 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.

The next affiliate referee course takes place in Clonmel RFC next Thursday, September 18th at 7pm. All affiliate referee courses are free of charge and open to all school and club coaches.
