Gear Swap research project
MyWaste.ie is currently working on a Gear Swap research project, and to complete the research, it is running a national survey on Gear Swapping in Clubs.
This short survey is part of an exciting new project with the Connacht Ulster Regional Waste Management Plan Office, exploring how sports clubs can go greener by swapping and re-using sports gear instead of letting it go to waste.
Whether you’ve taken part in a gear swap before or not, they want to know what would make it easier for you and your club to get involved.
You can opt in to our prize draw for a €1,000 prize to support your club.
The survey takes just 5–10 minutes, is completely anonymous, and your answers will help shape real changes to make sport more sustainable.

Galway GAA Referee Recruitment
Galway GAA is running a recruitment campaign for new referees. Applicants can register their interest by emailing refereesadministrator.galway@gaa.ie.
Club Referee Incentive Programme
As we look to the future of hurling in our county and beyond, we’re concerned about the growing shortage of qualified and available referees. This threatens the sustainability of our sport, and we feel the county board has not done enough to address it in terms of training and recruitment.
To tackle this challenge, we propose introducing an incentive programme within our club to encourage the recruitment of new referees.
Here’s the proposal for all club members, specifically for those starting to referee from 2025 onwards:
- Free Membership: Active referees (and their spouse/children, if applicable) will receive free membership as long as they remain active and officiate in championship games. Referees can start by officiating in juvenile championships and progress to adult matches.
- Free Lotto Subscription: One free annual lotto subscription.
- All-Ireland Final Ticket: A free ticket to the All-Ireland final if Galway qualifies, plus the option to purchase a second ticket.
- Umpires' Ticket: The option for your nominated umpires to purchase one ticket to the All-Ireland final if Galway qualifies.
- Referee Bonus 1: A €500 bonus after you referee your first Senior Hurling Championship match in Galway.
- Referee Bonus 2: A €1,000 bonus after refereeing a Senior Intercounty match (League or Championship).
This programme is designed to support and incentivize new referees while rewarding those committed to officiating at a high level. We believe this will secure the future of refereeing and strengthen our club and county's commitment to the sport.
We encourage all club members to consider this opportunity to help grow the next generation of referees.
