The Passing of Keith Kennedy

The board of directors, staff, players and all at Glenavon FC are extremely saddened to learn of the death of serving referee Keith Kennedy. We extend our sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies to Keith’s family and friends at this sad time.

Chairman Glenn Emerson said of Keith, “Keith was the referee at our memorable Boxing Day win at Shamrock Park a few seasons ago and, despite the criticism all referees have to endure, went about his job with a desire to be professional and approachable when dealing with players and officials alike. This was no more evident than when he was recently 4th official for our home game against Linfield when he carried out his duties in that role in such a manner.”

“We join the rest of the Irish League family in mourning his sudden and untimely passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family circle and friends as they process their grief and loss.”
