🚨 Tensions Erupt at Welsh Rugby Match 🚨
Allegations of racist remarks have marred an under-14s rugby match between Wrexham RFC and Denbigh RFC. The incident reportedly took place during Denbigh’s visit to Wrexham, prompting both police and the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) to launch investigations.
North Wales Police have confirmed they’re looking into a hate-related offence that occurred on Sunday, 14 September, stressing that their enquiries are ongoing.
Wrexham RFC, aware of the serious claims, has also started its own probe and pledged full cooperation with the authorities. “We do not condone this alleged behaviour,” stated a club spokesperson.
The WRU is taking the matter seriously, awaiting a detailed code of conduct complaint to address the situation thoroughly. A spokesperson emphasised their commitment to tackling discrimination and ensuring rugby in Wales remains inclusive and welcoming to all.
This situation highlights the ongoing need to combat prejudice on and off the field, ensuring our sports arenas are safe and respectful spaces for everyone involved. 🏉💬
