Maltese club Hibernians have lodged an official protest with UEFA following the performance of Irish referee, Rob Hennessy, in their European Conference League defeat to Riga last week.
Mr Hennessy joined Fifa’s International Referees panel in January 2017 at the age of 26.
Then a school teacher, he had refereed in the Clare Schoolboy League and Clare District League, progressing to the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division panel in 2015. Hennessy officiated at the U19 League Final between Cork City and Limerick the same year.
He took charge of his first World Cup qualifier in March of this year, the Group E meeting of Belarus and Estonia in Minsk.
