Please Note Zero Tolerence Policy
Coiste Trá Lí committee has this year decided to introduce a new zero tolerance policy in regards to the abuse and the use of foul and abusive language towards match officials. It will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
This is being done so as to encourage younger people to take up refereeing. Referees are being instructed by the board to report any form of abuse or foul language they receive either during or after a game.
Any reports of same will be dealt with by the CCCC. This policy has the full backing of the Board and the club delegates.
Please inform mentors of this policy. It is the responsibility of the clubs to inform their mentors of this as ignorance will not be accepted as a defense.
