Joy Neville makes history as Cork Con take the points

Saturday was an historic day for the Ulster Bank League as Joy Neville became the first female referee to take charge of a Division 1A fixture.

“This is a day to remember.” Neville beamed after overseeing the clash of Cork Constitution and Clontarf at Temple Hill.

“It was always my goal to referee a 1A game and it was the icing on the cake I got to referee these two teams who were in the final last year.
