Ballymena United's top scorer has been hit with a five-game ban following his dismissal at Loughgall last month
Ballymena United say they will "consider their right to appeal" after star forward Ben Kennedy was slapped with a five-game ban.
It comes following Kennedy's dismissal in the 3-2 win over Loughgall on December 21 when he picked up a second yellow card with only eight minutes to go at Lakeview Park. Article 14.15 of the Irish FA’s Disciplinary Code states: “A player or official who is reported for unsporting conduct towards a match official will be sanctioned with a minimum 5 match standard suspension and a £100 fine imposed on their club.”
"Ballymena United have been made aware of the further suspension imposed upon Ben Kennedy after his dismissal against Loughgall FC,” the club said. “We will consult and consider our right to appeal this suspension. We will be making no further comment at this time.”
