A scandal has rocked the Northern Region Soccer League after Norton FC suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat at the hands of Scotland FC. Allegations have surfaced that Norton FC fielded unregistered players, sparking outrage within the football community.

Sources within the Northern Region have revealed that Norton FC used players who were not registered with the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), a clear violation of league regulations. This has led to calls for the team's expulsion from the league.

Further allegations suggest that senior Norton FC players received USD$50 from MWOS as a motivational token to win against Scotland FC. This has raised concerns about match-fixing and corruption within the league.

In response to the allegations, Norton FC has launched an internal investigation to determine the facts surrounding the match. A social media post circulating online confirms the investigation.

The Northern Region Soccer League has taken swift action, writing to Norton Community Football Club to demand clarification on the allegations.

"Reference is made to a press release in circulation. May you please confirm if the press release emanated from your office? If indeed so, take note of our interest as the Northern Region Soccer League. After you conclude your investigations, kindly furnish us with your findings and determination thereof."

If found guilty, Norton FC faces severe penalties, including expulsion from the league, fines, and possible relegation.

The Northern Region Soccer League has vowed to take decisive action, stating, "We will not tolerate any form of corruption or misconduct that undermines the integrity of our league." Said a source within the Executive of the league
