Maggie Farrelly delighted to see more female referees

With experience of refereeing in both ladies and men’s inter-county football, Maggie Farrelly is among the most versatile sportspeople in the county, but her sporting talents are even broader than patrolling the big ball game.

As well as encouraging young referees into football, she continues to play with her adopted Glenfin in Donegal, while the Cavan-born official is aiming to bring niche sports like tennis, cricket, rugby and gymnastics to the north-west.
