Maggie’s Croker milestone

Cavan’s Maggie Farrelly will this evening become the first female to officiate at a men’s inter-county game in Croke Park.

Farrelly will assist referee David Coldrick as the sideline official for the Dublin-Kerry Division 1 opener, where she will monitor substitutions and operate the electronic board.

Two years ago, the Laragh referee took charge of her first high-profile men’s senior club championship game in her own county.
