Williams-Jones has been given a lifetime ban by the North Wales FA disciplinary panel
A North Wales Coast FA disciplinary panel has now given him the lifetime ban and a £3,000 fine.
He left his Amlwch role after attacking the linesman, a member of the visiting side’s squad.
In a statement, the club said: “As a club we have been truly saddened by the events on the weekend.”
Amlwch Town FC cut ties with the former manager shortly after the incident and apologised to both Penrhyndeudraeth and the linesman.
The NWCFA Disciplinary Panel said: “There is no place for aggression or assault in football within this area association.
The NWCFA will continue to take robust action on any instances of abuse.
“The NWCFA will not be making any further comment.”
Penrhyn said at the time: “A fantastic result and performance from the lads today.
“Unfortunately, the game was marred by an incident which occurred approximately 15 minutes into the game when a Penrhyn player, acting as a voluntary linesman, was assaulted.”
Their manager Riccardo Pellegrino later praised his side, saying: “Your behavior on the pitch after what happened was impeccable, I’m proud to coach this fantastic group of lads.
“I’m proud all of you COYC.”
A court gave him a suspended jail term after he admitted ABH.

The out-of-control Ferrari narrowly missed hitting a retired old man – just by a metre – before crashing into a residence in São Paulo, Brazil.
Shocking pictures of the aftermath of the crash show the car completely destroyed.
The owner of the property said that the luxury motor was being driven by an employee of a Ferrari dealership at the time of the accident.
He said he was inside his house but was shocked to hear the loud noise of the crash.
“The house alarms went off. At that moment we realized that there was a rather unusual vehicle, a brand new yellow Ferrari that had crashed into the property’s gate,” he added.
Nearby people rushed to the scene of the accident to help the driver get out of the car wreckage.
The lucky retired pensioner said: “[The driver] was fine, a little dizzy. He sat under the tree, and then the people took him away.”
It is understood the car was speeding more than the allowed limit before losing control.
One cyclist died at the scene after being fatally injured in the crash while the three others were airlifted to hospital with serious injuries.
According to local reports, the driver was unharmed in the incident and is in contact with the police.

American casual diner chain Denny’s is reportedly shuttering over three dozen more restaurants in addition to 150 previously marked for closure.
Denny’s in October said it would close 50 locations by the end of 2024 and 100 in 2025, amounting to one-tenth of its locations across the US.
But in an investors call on Wednesday, Denny’s chief financial officer Robert Verostek said 70 to 90 would close this year and that 88 were shuttered last year, USA Today reported. That means up to 38 more restaurants are on the chopping block than originally announced.
The diners that are set to close have been operating for an average of almost 30 years.
‘In any mature brand, when restaurants have been open that long, it is natural that trade areas can shift over time,’ said Versostek.
‘Accelerating the closure of lower-volume restaurants will improve franchisee cash flow and allow them to reinvest into traffic-driving initiatives like our tested and proven remodel program.’
Some of the locations set for closure are in aging buildings or have expiring leases, according to the company.

4 weeks agoNew York StateComments Off on PS5 and Sony is now unstoppable and that’s bad for everyone – Reader’s Feature
Does Sony deserve its success? (Sony Interactive Entertainment)
A reader and lifelong PlayStation fan is upset to hear that Sony has had such a successful financial year, despite releasing so few games.
I’ve been a PlayStation fan ever since there was such a thing. I’ve owned a few different Nintendo machines, as my secondary consoles, but I’ve always been PlayStation #1 in my thinking and Xbox has given me very little reason to regret that. Maybe I felt I was missing out a bit in the Xbox 360 era, but I was younger then and console warrior antics kept me on PlayStation 3 anyway.
Nowadays, I like to think I’m less zealous in my opinions and would happily get an Xbox if there was sufficient reason to do so, but I don’t think I’m being too partisan when I say there is not. What would have tempted me to pay hundreds for an Xbox One? Sunset Overdrive and Gears 5? Or is it surprising I wasn’t opening my wallet for an Xbox Series X and the chance to play Halo Infinite and Starfield?
These might be good games, but they are absolutely not system sellers. So, despite all Microsoft’s talk of losing the wrong generation and people being stuck in the PlayStation ecosystem the ultimate problem is, and always has been, that the Xbox does not have enough good exclusives.
That problem is irrelevant now though. Xbox has gone third party and soon or later there will be no exclusives, because there’ll all be on PlayStation 5 as well. But as a PlayStation fan I’m not going to gloat about that. (Apart from anything I still don’t really care, because there still aren’t any Xbox published games I want, but that is also irrelevant to the point I’m making.)
I’m not going to gloat about it because I believe that Microsoft’s fall is the explanation for why Sony has been acting so lazy the last two years. Despite a perfectly normal start to the generation (which was impressive in itself, given the pandemic) they suddenly put the brakes on and stopped announcing games and started going on about live service titles instead… which they also didn’t release in the numbers they said.
We all know how the whole live service thing has worked out but so far that failure doesn’t seem to have changed anything at Sony. They had a State of Play on Wednesday that lasted 50 minutes and there was only one new first party game in it. Which won’t be out till 2026.
Although that wasn’t great news what bothered me most this week was that PlayStation 5 sales were up over Christmas, despite the fact that Sony didn’t have any big exclusives and had basically done nothing to deserve it. There was no clever marketing, no new features… it wasn’t even a busy time for third party releases, in fact it was one of the worst that I can remember in a long time.
So really, Sony did nothing to deserve that success. They made no effort and they released no games and yet they were more successful than the previous year when they had done more. So, what lesson do we think they’re going to learn from that?
It’s obvious to me why they did so well. If Xbox console sales are down, and the format is in trouble, then it seems obvious that a lot of people would be jumping ship to Sony. Especially as this is about the time in a generation when fans think about switching formats, to try out the exclusives, or getting a second console.
Everything worked in Sony’s favour and yet they really had nothing to do with their own success. The situation now is that they are really the only choice of console. Nobody’s buying an Xbox Series X/S anymore and no matter how big the Nintendo Switch 2 is it’ll never be able to run enough third party games to be a primary console for most people.
Sony isn’t doing well because it’s innovating or putting out great games, or even just great marketing, it’s winning because it’s basically the only choice. And that is not good for anyone (including them, I’d argue, not that they’ll care at the moment).
The market leader is now unstoppable and it got that way by doing as little as possible and just letting others make mistakes. Not exactly inspiring stuff, is it? Maybe they’ll mess up with the PlayStation 6, or the Switch 2 will be bigger than I expect, but at the moment we’ve never been closer to a one format future and, as a PlayStation fan, I’m not happy about it at all.

With Pancake Day just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be better.
Whether shoppers like it thick on a stack of fluffy pancakes, drizzling it over cakes, or swirling it into ice cream, this luxurious pistachio crème covers it all.
M&S has declared this rich, nutty spread as “taking indulgence to a whole new level,” and social media seems to agree.
Searches and posts about pistachio-based treats have soared by 50 per cent this year, showing just how much the flavour is having a moment.
The hype follows the success of M&S’ viral Easter Pistachio Rolled Eggs, which fans hailed as: “The best thing M&S has ever created.”
This latest offering also joins the retailer’s hit collection hazelnut spread and collection chocolate hazelnut crème.
Kathryn Turner, M&S Director of Product Development, said: “We’ve seen the pistachio trend explode in the last few months both on restaurant menus and on social media, so it’s a real focus for us as one of our top flavour trends this year.
“Our top quality collection pistachio crème is perfect for adding a touch of luxury to your day, whether you’re having a sweet snack, making an amazing dessert, or simply looking for something indulgent to top your pancakes.”
The Collection Pistachio Crème spread will be available in M&S stores nationwide.
Marks & Spencer (M&S) has a history of introducing unique products for Pancake Day. In a previous year, they launched a £2 Lemon, Gin, and Tonic sauce, made with 4% gin and lemon juice, offering a zesty twist to traditional pancake toppings.

125g of plain flour
Two eggs, medium sized

Whisk everything in a large bowl into a smooth batter.
Heat up a medium-sized frying pan over a medium heat – add oil or butter so your pancakes don’t stick.
Pour your batter in and gently cook each side until golden in colour.
