Margaret Farrelly is set to referee Sunday week’s All-Ireland women’s football final between Galway and Kerry at Croke Park.<\/p>\n
It’ll be a third time refereeing the biggest game in women’s football for Farrelly, who is involved with the Laragh United club in Cavan.<\/p>\n
Farrelly was the woman in the middle in 2014, as Cork came from behind to see off Dublin, and in 2022, when Meath did back-to-back titles against Kerry.<\/p>\n
“I’m absolutely honoured to be given the chance to referee another TG4 All-Ireland Senior Championship final,” she said. “I\u2019m looking forward to a terrific game between two excellent teams.”<\/p>\n
Farrelly has already been in charge of a Galway game this summer, when the Tribeswomen were big winners over Meath in early June. She also took charge as Mayo defeated Donegal to secure their All-Ireland quarter-final spot.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the intermediate final between Fermanagh and Roscommon will be overseen by Kevin Phelan from Laois, while Cork’s Conor McCarthy will officiate the junior decider between Antrim and Carlow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Margaret Farrelly is set to referee Sunday week’s All-Ireland women’s football final between Galway and Kerry at Croke…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":563957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-563956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/563956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/563957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=563956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=563956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
