From a very famous Carlow GAA family background, Marion Hayden has developed into one of Carlow's top referees, male or female. 

She has broken boundaries within her own county where she became the first woman to referee an adult football Championship match and she is progressing to be in the position of one of the female officials in the country. 

She has been speaking about her refereeing journey, and the many positives of it, in a new video released by the LGFA.
