TD & RACE REFEREE TRAINING

As such, TI in conjunction with the Connaught-Munster branch, is holding a training day for Technical Delegates and Referees.
As all Clubs are required to supply a TD and Referee for each event they are holding this year, this is a golden opportunity to have your appointed members trained to a high standard by a dedicated training team.
