Maggie Farrelly to make history in Carrick-on-shannon

Referee Maggie Farrelly will become the first woman to take charge of a senior inter-county national football league game.

The Cavan native who is attached to the Glenfin club has been put in charge of the Letrim London Division 4 game this weekend at Pairc Sean McDiarmada.

Farrelly has previously refereed senior club championship games and county matches at various levels but never a league tie.

Sligo’s John Gilmartin will referee Derry’s Division 2 game with Cork at Owenbeg.
