STRIKE: St Aidan's GAA grounds, Ballyforan, where a referee was left needing medical attention on Wednesday evening last.

The referees’ strike in Roscommon is not expected to extend beyond last weekend, sources have told the Irish Examiner.

Although there is hope in the county and the province of Connacht that a zero-tolerance example has been set and other counties will act similarly if referees are put in harm’s way by team management or members, it is expected Roscommon match officials will fulfil forthcoming matches to which they are assigned.
