The match referee has been confirmed as Ireland and Scotland play their second Shinty / Hurling clash set for Croke Park on Saturday 21 November 2015.
Kilkenny referee Sean Cleere will take charge of this much anticipated encounter. He also refereed last month’s meeting between Scotland U21 and Ireland U21 at the Bught Park and he was also a goal judge in the senior meeting later in the afternoon. Cleere is well-regarded in Ireland and he refereed the 2014 Christy Ring Cup Final between Kildare and Kerry at Croke Park.
