Kearney Robinson will officiate his 100th A-League Men’s match as an assistant referee in Friday night's match involving Western Sydney Wanderers and Wellington Phoenix.
Kearney made his A-League debut in Round 15 of the 2015-16 season, in the match between Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix, and will become the 16th official to record 100 games as an assistant referee in the A-League Men’s competition. In addition, Kearney has also recorded 161 appointments as an AVAR (assistant video assistant referee).
Meanwhile, Kris Griffiths-Jones will become the first match official to officiate 400 matches as a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) when Western United host Melbourne City on Saturday night.
