The coach responsible for the attack is part of Amlwch Town and it appears his team is just as poor as his temper as they lost 8-0 to Penrhyndeudraeth.
Noel Mooney, chief executive of Football Association of Wales, said that the FA are aware of the incident.
Yes we are aware of the incident - as are police. There is no room in football for this.
