McEnaney: My refs will handle heat of summer

Pat McEnaney believes a repeat of the refereeing standards seen in last year’s championship will be more than satisfactory this summer.

In his final season as chairman of the national referees committee, McEnaney is confident his football officials are more than capable of handling the black card and advantage rules.

Despite a number of contentious sendings off in last season’s hurling championship, he is assured referees will competently administer the new rule making interfering with a helmet a red card offence.
