Tipperary official Fergal Horgan will take charge of this year's All Ireland hurling final meeting of Waterford and Galway.

Horgan has already refereed this year's Munster final, as well as Kilkenny and Wexford's Leinster semi-final.

He will be the first Munster-native to referee an All-Ireland final since 2010.

Cork’s Colm Lyons will be the standby referee with Paud O’Dwyer (Carlow) as the other linesman and the sideline official will be Johnny Murphy (Limerick).
