Stradbally referee Maurice Deegan will referee the AIB All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship Final between Dr Crokes and Slaughtneil on St Patrick’s Day.
This is the latest accolade for the high decorated whistler who has already officiated over three All-Ireland Senior Football finals.
His first came in 2008 when he was in the middle as Tyrone got the better of Kerry by 1-15 to 0-14.
The second final came four years later in 2012 when Jim McGuinness’s Donegal beat Mayo by 2-11 to 0-13.
And he was called into action again for a third time last year to oversee the All-Ireland final replay between Dublin and Mayo with the Dubs running out 1-15 to 1-14 winners.
