North Wales Police is investigating an alleged assault on a linesman during a football match.

The incident is alleged to have taken place during Amlwch Town's 8-0 defeat by Penrhyndeudraeth in the North Wales Coast West Premier League on Saturday, 27 April.

Police are appealing for information after a video circulating on social media appeared to show an incident involving a member of Amlwch’s coaching team during the match.

North Wales Coast Football Association (NWCFA) has confirmed it has received a complaint and was also aware of a North Wales Police investigation.
