Ten people have been arrested in relation to allegations of match-fixing in the Welsh Premier League.

South Wales Police have confirmed that seven men and three women were arrested on suspicion of defrauding the authorities during an ongoing investigation by the Economic Crime Unit.

The match in question is believed to be the Port Talbot Town game against Rhyl on April 9, 2016, according to ITV News.

Unusual betting patterns were spotted, which prompted a call to the Football Association of Wales and the Gambling Commission's Sports Betting Intelligence Unit.
