Referee Course in Naas

Today I went to Naas G.A.A for a referee course which was great fun as well as learning loads of the camoige rules. I made friends with loads of girls from other clubs and then we did a few dramas too show whats aloud and not aloud in camoige and as a referee how too deal with it. We then did a quick test which was very easy and we are now half way to being qualified as a Referee. It was a good day and i cant wait too start refing a few matchs :)
