Seven inter-county referees ruled out of action after fitness tests

Failure rate after last night's examination is not a concern for GAA.

Only 19 of 42 refs passed the test with almost a dozen not even attending.

Seven of the 36 inter-county hurling referees did not pass Friday night’s pre-Allianz Hurling League fitness test in Dublin.

Ahead of the start of the competition next Saturday, the game’s leading match officials underwent the beep/yo-yo test in the GAA’s national games development centre in Abbotstown.
