hi saw post on here not so long ago about referees and over the year i have read on here how bad the some of the refs are and was wondering who do think are the top 3 refs are
The standard is very poor generally but there are a few stand out referees about like Neil Cousins from the Kingdom, Brendan Rice from Warrenpoint and Gavin Corrigan from Castlewellan. Kieran Trainor from Longstone is also making his way up the ranks this year with many outings over the championships officiating all over Down at every level,except i think division 1 but unsure about this and i think is a very good prospect for the future.
have to agree with Brendan rice and Gavin Corrina Korean will also be a good ref in time along as he not but in toquickly
Who are you kidding?

Brendan Rice, Neil Cousins, Peter McCartan, Kieran Trainor and Alan Grant in that order.

You are not serious about Peter McCartan being in the top 5. His performance in the final of the Reserve Championship final was the worst I saw all year. How do you add on 10 mins additional time along with not handing out a single card in 3 mass brawls in front of the stand. Was terrible for both teams and threw rostrevor a life line by playing til a draw. Then in the replay the refereeing standard didnt improve much either.

Point Lad, I am going to make a wild stab in the dark here and guess that Warrepoint lost the RFC final?

Not particularly DF, was bad for both teams. Rostrevor had plenty of chances to win the match in the first match

Perhaps three mass brawls were time consuming. Th

You might get ten minutes additional time by three mass brawls, on top of other stoppages.
You are certainly suggesting that is was his fault the point didn't win.
Anytime I have seen the lad referee, I have been more than impressed by him.

He could well be a good ref and i wouldnt doubt it, i just think he was a bit young and inexperienced to be "thrown in at the deep end" in a championship final involving local rivals were things will always be heated

I'm not sure if this thread is a good idea...
