Dear Referee,
IMPORTANT
Please note the following.
All match reports, including copies of the team sheets/substitutes should be sent to the County Secretary @ secretary.Cork@lgfa.ie and the Fixtures Committee @ fixtures.Cork@lgfa.ie
If the referee cannot email the report, my home postal address is detailed at the bottom of this email.
If there is any injury to be reported, please also send a copy of the report and team sheet /substitutions to the Injury Fund Co-ordinator, Marian Crowley @ corklgfainjuryfund@gmail.com
A copy can also be posted to Marian Crowley, Dunboy, Dromree, Macroom, Co Cork P12TK22
If needed to be referred to CODA, email to coda.cork@lgfa.ie within 48hrs of the match with a copy of the report and team sheets/substitutes.
Note, under LGFA rule 447, it states that a match report must submitted and under 448 states in the absence of a referee report, CODA has the power to investigate infringements of the rules that may have occurred – thus it’s very important all referees submit a match report for each game.
For ease of reference, rule 447 & 448 quoted below.
- The referee shall forward team lists, and a detailed report of the match, either electronically or by post, to the committee, Board or Council in charge of the fixture, showing:

(f) The names of any players injured or any other information s/he deems relevant
(g) The names of substitutes used during the course of the game
(h) Any other incidents or breach of rules that took place However, if a disciplinary matter arises the report shall be forwarded to the relevant CODA within 48 hours of the incident.
- Where the referee fails to forward a report of a game, the relevant CODA shall have the power to investigate infringements of the rules that may have occurred, and call witnesses who attended the game.
