“Helen’s appointment is based solely on merit, but as the first female referee to make the panel she must be congratulated,” said Owen Doyle, director of referee development for the IRFU in December.

She will referee the Division 2B game tonight between Sunday’s Well and Kanturk at Musgrave Park at 7.30pm.Explore more on these topics:
