Women who take charge of GAA games should not be referred to as female referees, Maggie Farrelly has said.

Cavan native Farrelly is a trailblazer when it comes to females officiating at GAA games, having been the first woman to referee a men’s inter-county fixture when taking charge of the 2015 Ulster Minor Football Championship quarter-final between Fermanagh and Antrim.
