Kieran Bolger has been promoted to the rank of international outdoor umpire by the FIH Umpire Committee, announced by the official’s chairman Ermanno Silvano.
Bolger has been a firm fixture on the Leinster and Ireland umpire’s listings since retiring from playing with Glenanne’s first team four seasons ago.
He first picked up whistle, though, back when he was a teenager - for the full story, go to the Glen’s website - under the tutelage of Gerry Foley and has since gone on to officiate at every level of the domestic game. Most recently, he was appointed to matches in the men's Celtic Cup held in Scotland.
