Nesbitt death shocks Loughgall FC

Raymond Nesbitt Loughgall Football Club are mourning the death of chairman Raymond Nesbitt who died suddenly on Tuesday morning.

Team manager Jim Gardiner said that the club had been left "shocked and stunned" by the 56-year-old's death.

"Raymond was Mister Loughgall. He steered us right through from the days when we were a little club in Mid-Ulster to our Premier Division status," said Gardiner.

Loughgall have requested a postponement of Saturday's game against Ards.

Less than a month ago, the club named their new spectating area, The Raymond Nesbitt Stand, as a mark of gratitude to the club chairman.
