Yes good point.I agree. Where no referee is available then a match should be re-fixed, especially from U14 up. A trained referee is vital from a player welfare perspective.

There is, I posted it about happening 4 times in row.There is no such thing any longer as a coach or someone from the crowd doing the job if the ref doesn’t turn up
These are their own rulesSomeone needs to tell Rebel Og!
That explains it, thanks. It is good for the game to go ahead for travelling team but wrong for kids who might not get a fair crack of the whip with decisions
I was a mentor at a game a few years ago when a fellow mentor from my own club refereed the game. It was U12. It was a dirty enough game and I remember saying to another fella on the line that the lad refereeing was losing control of it, he dismissed what I said. 5 minutes later all hell broke loose and one of our own players broke a lad’s nose with 3 punches. Ever since I’ve been totally opposed to anyone but a qualified referee being in charge of a game.That explains it, thanks.

Appears notIf you had any involvement in GAA you’d know that for a few years now all games require the appointed ref who is qualified and vetted referee.

One of the games I was at lately, the was a row between two players and the mentor/referee quelled it quickly in fairness but unfotunately there some involvement from one of the player's parents on the lineI was a mentor at a game a few years ago when a fellow mentor from my own club refereed the game.

Parents shouting from the sideline ruin many an underage game.One of the games I was at lately, the was a row between two players and the mentor/referee quelled it quickly in fairness but unfotunately there some involvement from one of the player's parents on the line
yeah - you are dead right - the ref really was the problem here.I was a mentor at a game a few years ago when a fellow mentor from my own club refereed the game. It was U12.
