Clubs that currently suppy Refs to the Co.GAA :

Ashford - (J.Doyle)
Bray - (V.Duffy & T.Mc Laughlan)
Eire Og - (C.Gaskin)
Kiltegan - (P.Keogh,D.Byrne,G.Whelan)
Hollywood - (D.Peppard,P.Dunne)
Arklow Gers - (P.Hickey,P.Kellagher,E.Doherty)
St.Patricks - (E.Leonard,D.Reilly,M.Murphy)
Kilcoole - (D.Greene)
Donard/Glen - (J.Whyte)
Aughrim - (J.Keenan,L.Keenan)
Avondale - (B.Byrne,J.O'Shaughnessey)
Kilbride - (E.Craul)
Blessington - (P.Molloy)

I counted 13 Clubs there - well less than half the Clubs in Wicklow :
No Ref, from Rathnew , No Ref, from Baltinglass, No Ref,from Glenealy , No Ref, from Dunlavin , No Ref,from Carnew -
So while we give out & complain , a lot of the issues and problems are with Clubs too

Youngest Ref + John Keenan , & he is very active at plyaing with his Club Aughrim presently.
Other young refs would be J.Doyle, G.Whelan, M.Murphy, V.Duffy
Off course youth v experience is also another ingredient in the mix !!!

The-Ref surely you are not serious in proposing Liam Keenan to ref Senior hurling final nothing personal but like a lot more ref,s in this County he should have been retired long ago.

declan greene is a joke i was at the shillelagh strafford match and i tought shillelagh should of had two penos and strafford were gave notting.
he just kept stopping the game and did not let the two teams play football,tell me if im wrong but i think they should go out of the county for refs for the quarter,semi,and final. let me know what yas think!

red bull..... seriously balto are not the team to fear some how or another they played shillelagh on the fairgreen and as soon as the coolattin lads hit them up balto fell apart that to me doesnt sound like a winning team

Liam Cullen to ref the senior final... Top class refeere with lots of experience and his fitness levels reach those of a professional ref...

You havin a laugh username. Was Liam not at the centre of the Shillelagh-Pat's debacle a few years ago.He can't even keep score!!Think Kieran Kenny is the best ref in the county at the moment.

Kenny and John Keenan should get the finals .

In fairness Co.Star 09, Senior teams in Wicklow are not up to the standard required !!
Not a decent game has been seen in the SFC to date....
pure muck !! all of them so far...

Anybody else who was at the Pats Carnew match yesterday will agree with me that the refferee wass terrible....So inconsistent it was unbelievable....

Very inconsistent.. But then again.. You wouldnt expect anything different from that lad... At least he got the score right this year
