Football bosses are investigating an altercation between two players at a match at the weekend where spectators allegedly yelled and hurled abuse at a referee and coach.

NP Rangers got off to the best start with Niall Leggett scoring from the penalty spot on 27 minutes
Central Federation League Peggy Gordon’s New Plymouth Rangers got their Central Federation League season back on track with a 3-2 away victory against Levin. NP Rangers got off to the best start with Niall Leggett scoring from the penalty spot on 27 minutes after a handball. On 34 minutes, Leggett was on hand with a 20 yard strike that left the keeper stranded and gave Rangers a 2-0 lead. Levin fought back early in the second half to score through a Tahana Perigo penalty (51 minutes) before Tre De John restored the two-goal lead ten minutes later beating the keeper one on one.
