THE sisters of former Wales international John Hartson has been interviewed by police in connection with a match fixing probe involving a Rhyl FC clash.

Hayley Hartson and Victoria Hartson De-Vulgt are the latest to face question over suspicious gambling patterns during Rhyl’s 5-0 Welsh Premier League victory over Port Talbot Town.

The Crime Prosecution Service is now “considering charges” against 11 people in relation to the incident, which resulted in a number of big wagers in favour of the already relegated Lilywhites in 2016.

A police spokeswoman said: “South Wales Police has submitted a file of evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service as part of an investigation into alleged match fixing of a Welsh Premier League fixture.

“The force’s Economic Crime Unit commenced an investigation after receiving information from the Football Association of Wales and the Gambling Commission’s Sports Betting Intelligence Unit about betting patterns on the match between Port Talbot Town and Rhyl played on April 9, 2016.”

Hayley’s son James was also interviewed and was involved with Talbot at the time of the fixture.

The Football Association of Wales called in experts to investigate the shock result, with betting firms offering around 100/1 on the 5-0 outcome.

Large sums of money were also placed on Rhyl to be leading at half-time and full-time at odds of 8-1.

Nobody associated with the Huws Gray Alliance side were accused as part of the investigation process.

Jonathan Ford, FAW chief executive, added: “These arrests are as result of a thorough process of evidence gathering and close co-operation between the FAW, South Wales Police and the Gambling Commission.

“The FAW remains committed to our Integrity Education Programme which began in 2014, as well as the monitoring and reporting systems we have in place which have contributed to these arrests.

“The FAW will not bring any sporting sanctions against any individuals while the police investigation is ongoing.”
