· Our thanks to Derek Oman, Paul Beecher and Donal Ryan for the dedication and expertise while running the Referees' courses over the last 2 months. Queries to Referees' chairperson, Garry Beagan at [email protected]

· Referees have been reminded to include details of all incidents of abuse that may occur during games when filing their reports. Reports containing details of abuse will be forwarded to the THDC. See Rule 44.1.2 of Official Rule Book for sanctions. Clubs are responsible for the behaviour of their players, mentors and supporters.

· Please not that an underage player must be over 15 years of age i.e. born before 1 January 1997 (not 1996 as reported last week!) before they can play on any adult team. Rule 28.4 of the Official Rule Book deals with sanctions arising from infringements

· Camogie pitches in the Phoenix Park - the pitch nearest the car park where Portobello play their home games and the Juvenile pitch adjacent to the Oliver Plunkett/Eoghan Ruadh pitch will have remedial work carried out to the goal mouths. This work will not take long to complete but because the goal mouths will have to be re-seeded etc, games will not take place until later in the season. Portobello's Home games will now take place on the top pitch until further notice.

· Congratulations to Dublin under 21 footballers on Sunday's All Ireland success.
