Brian Gavin to referee hurling final replay

The GAA has confirmed the referee and match officials for the 2014 GAA Hurling All-Ireland Senior Final Replay on September 27, with Offaly's Brian Gavin being appointed as referee between Tipperary and Kilkenny.

This will be Brian's third senior assignment, having previously taken charge of the 2013 drawn final between Clare and Cork and the 2011 decider, also between Kilkenny and Tipperary.

Matches on Brian's CV in 2014 include the Munster Senior Hurling Final between Cork and Limerick, Cork's outing against Waterford in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship Quarter Final and the Senior Hurling Championship quarter final clash between Tipperary and Dublin.

Wexford's James Owens will be the standby referee with James McGrath (Westmeath) as the other linesman and the sideline official will be Alan Kelly (Galway).
