Tommy Sugrue

Tommy Sugrue is a Gaelic football referee from County Kerry who lives in Tralee. He began refereeing in 1977 and was given the 1983 Kerry County Final, after which he took charge of the Cork against Dublin National League semi-final of that year and was put onto the inter-county referees' panel, where he served for more than thirteen years. He refereed National Football League semi-finals and finals, including the 1990 final, four All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-finals, an All-Ireland Under-21 final and a club final, and matches in the Munster and Ulster Senior Football Championships. Sugrue refereed four All-Ireland Senior Football Championship finals: the drawn 1988 final between Meath and Cork and its replay, the 1992 final between Donegal and Dublin, and the 1994 final between Down and Dublin. He was most pleased with the 1992 final, which Donegal won.
