Robert Williams-Jones received a suspended sentence for punching a linesman during a match, shocking the local football community.
Amlwch: So, there was this crazy incident at a football match in Anglesey. Robert Williams-Jones, the manager of Amlwch Town FC, ended up punching a linesman. Can you believe it? This all went down during a game where Penrhyndeudraeth FC totally crushed Amlwch with an 8-0 score.
Williams-Jones didn’t fight it in court. He pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm. The court handed him a 24-week prison sentence, but it’s suspended for a year. He’s also got to do 150 hours of community service and pay a grand in compensation. Ouch!
After the match, Penrhyndeudraeth FC posted on Facebook about the game. They were thrilled with their win but really upset about the assault on their linesman. They mentioned it happened about 15 minutes into the match, which is just wild.
Amlwch Town FC wasted no time in cutting ties with Williams-Jones after the incident. They even apologized to both the linesman and Penrhyndeudraeth FC, saying they were really saddened by what happened. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.
