Although it has yet to be officially confirmed, Donegal Daily/Donegal Sport Hub understands that the referee for the Donegal SFC final has been selected.
Malin referee Shaun McLaughlin is set to take charge of the 2018 final between Naomh Conaill and Gaoth Dobhair in Ballybofey on October 21.
McLaughlin has refereed two senior finals. He was in the middle in 2010 when Naomh Conaill defeated Killybegs and officiated at the 2016 decider, when Glenswilly overcame Kilcar.
McLaughlin has been a member of the national referees panel and in 2016 he refereed the All-Ireland Junior final between Kerry and Mayo.
On Saturday night, McLaughlin refereed Naomh Conaill’s semi-final win over Glenswilly.
