Investigation launched after alleged altercation between referee and coach at women's football match

The South Wales Football Association has launched an investigation over claims that a referee was hit by a coaching staff member during a women's game.

Sunday's South Wales Women's and Girls League match between Tredegar Town Women and Afan Lido Ladies & Girls FC was abandoned just before half-time following the alleged incident.

"The @SouthWalesFA has been made aware of an alleged assault on a match referee today," the association said in a statement posted on Twitter on Sunday night. "In accordance with FAW regulations, the alleged perpetrator has been suspended from all aspects of football pending a full hearing."
