Referee appointed for Galway's clash with Dublin in All-Ireland SFC quarter final

Gough has refereed plenty of clashes throughout this year’s championship which has included Donegal and Cork, Roscommon and Tyrone and the Division One league final between Donegal and Kerry.

The Meath native also refereed the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash between Galway and Dublin last year. Tickets went on sale this afternoon on Ticketmaster for Galway’s clash with Dublin on Sunday at 4pm in Croke Park. It will form part of a double header with Louth and Monaghan throwing in at 1:45pm. Both games will be broadcast live on RTE Two.
