Tyrone's Sean Hurson has been named as the referee for this year's All-Ireland final between Galway and Kerry.
It's a first senior final for Hurson, who was the man in the middle for the 2018 All-Ireland minor final and last year's All-Ireland Under-20 decider.
Earlier this year he refereed the All-Ireland senior club decider involving Kilcoo and Kilmacud Crokes. In this season's football championship, the Galbally Pearses clubman has been in charge of the Ulster final between Donegal and Derry, the Dublin-Cork All-Ireland quarter-final, Kildare and Westmeath in the Leinster semi-final, and the Connacht quarter-final clash of New York and Sligo.
Roscommon's Paddy Neilan will be the standby referee. The other linesman is Barry Cassidy from Derry and Antrim's Sean Laverty will be the sideline official.
Sunday week's meeting of Galway and Kerry will be the first final meeting of the counties since 2000. That game went to a replay, which the Kingdom won by four points.
