Last Saturday night in Croke Park, the refereeing community gathered in Croke Park for their biennial National awards night where they remembered an absent friend, Shane Hourigan. Shane Hourigan should have been there in person to collect medals for refereeing two national finals in 2013 - the All-Ireland Intermediate Club final and the Allianz League Division IIA final between Laois and Westmeath. Instead, Shane’s wife, Marie, was presented with the medals that marked her husband’s remarkable progress through the refereeing ranks before his tragic death on January 27 last. The morning after Shane had refereed the All-Ireland Intermediate Club semi-final between Rower-Inistioge (Kilkenny) and Clooney Gaels (Antrim), he was killed in a road traffic accident not far from his home in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick.
