Patient Farrelly admits All-Ireland final is the goal

Trailblazing referee is content to bide her time to make it into the middle of the grandest day in Gaelic Games

First lady: Referee Maggie Farrelly has already broken many barriers in Gaelic Games. 

Maggie Farrelly admits her goal is to one day referee an All-Ireland senior final but, for now, she is prepared to bide her time.

Eight years after acting as fourth official for the Dublin-Kerry Allianz League game in 2014, and six since she broke new ground by refereeing a men's McKenna Cup game in Ulster, the Cavan whistler was this year brought onto the full national referee's panel.
