Looking for a new hobby in the New Year? Give refereeing a try.

Connacht Rugby's Association of Referees is looking for new recruits, and is hosting a new referees course at the Galway Sportsground, Saturday, January 7.

In addition to giving something back to our great game, refereeing is a fantastic pursuit and a great way to keep fit.

We cater to all levels of rugby experience for those aged 18 and over. If interested in attending the course please contact referee development officer Dave O'Brien, on 087 641 8340. He is delighted to field all and any enquiries, and can talk you through the referee recruitment process in more detail.
