The NI Football League are deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of referee Keith Kennedy this week.
A hugely experienced and respected match official in the league since 2007, Keith rose to the top of the game as a FIFA Referee, and also officiated many of the Irish League’s biggest matches and cup finals.
As a mark of respect, there will be a minutes’ silence held at all NIFL matches this weekend in memory of Keith.
