A Referee who has failed to register as a Referee with The Association for between two and five seasons shall not be re-registered until they have successfully undertaken the Referee Course written examination.

A Referee who has not been registered for more than five season must attend and successfully complete the Referee Course at which point they will be registered as a Junior County Referee.
Registration can be completed either online via Whole Game System; or for those who do not wish to complete the process online, details will be sent via email or by post where appropriate.
