If Navan O'Mahony's had managed to beat Duleek/Bellewstown a few weeks back, I would have wanted his head on a plate, however anytime I have seen him on television he has always impressed me as a ref in terms of his decisiveness and respect he gets from players.

To be considered the best referee in the country (well apart from in Down and Cork) is a great privlidge and one we should congratulate him on.

Yeah fair play to him.
Second final in four years for him.

Best of luck to him in it.

I have always maintained that he is the best referee I have ever come across and rearly is he noticed in a game, which is the way it should be. I knew he would go all the way to the top. Been watching him now since he started out around 96/97 I think, and he was always very fair.

Well done Archie.
