Tipperary referee confirmed for Limerick and Cork All-Ireland hurling final

THE GAA has confirmed the referee and match officials for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling final with Fergal Horgan confirmed as the official in charge for meeting of Limerick and Cork.

Horgan from Tipperary will be refereeing his third senior final having refereed last year's final between Limerick and Waterford and the 2017 final between Galway and Waterford.

Fergal Horgan who is a member of the Knockavilla-Donaskeigh Kickhams club, has also previously refereed an All-Ireland minor final in 2014, and the All Ireland senior club final 2017 and 2019.

He didn't referee any games for either Limerick or Cork during this year's Allianz League.

In this year’s championship, Horgan has refereed last Sunday's All-Ireland SHC semi final between Cork and Kilkenny, the Leinster SHC semi final between Kilkenny and Wexford and the qualifier match Wexford and Clare.

His umpires on the day of the August 22 will be John Ryan (Cashel King Cormacs), Alan Horgan, Mick Butler, and Sean Bradshaw (all Knockavilla Donaskeigh Kickhams).

Wexford’s James Owens will be the standby referee. The other linesman is Sean Stack (Dublin) and the sideline official will be Liam Gordon (Galway).
