Match Officials Appointed - Week 12

A team of referees from Wales will take charge of one this weekend’s SSE Airtricity League games as part of the ongoing Elite Referee Exchange programme between the FAI and the Football Association of Wales (FAW).

Referee Ryan Stewart and assistants Martin Roberts and John Jones will be in charge of the Premier Division game between Bohemians and Limerick at Dalymount Park with FAI Elite Referee Tomás Connolly acting as Fourth Official.

That game is one of 11 matches due to be played in the SSE Airtricity Premier and First Divisions between Friday and Monday with the Monday fixture being the meeting between Cork City and Drogheda United, a match that has been brought forward to facilitate Cork’s preparations for their Europa League campaign this summer.
