Football match fixing: 13 British games fixed - claims
A Women's Super League game is one of 13 British football matches that have been identified as having been fixed - claims a new report.
Notts County's fixture with Everton on 20 April was highlighted by Federbet, an organisation which monitors suspicious gambling patterns.
Both clubs told the BBC they have "spoken to the Football Association" about the report - which was put before the European Parliament on Tuesday.
Ten Conference games were implicated.
Two of those were in the Conference Premier, with the other eight in the tier below it.
Two League of Wales games were also named.
“We are at a loss to understand what evidence may exist for Federbet to make such claims”
Football Conference
The report by the Brussels-based gaming anti-corruption organisation, suggests that more match-fixing took place in England than anywhere else.
The Women's Super League fixture came to Federbet's attention after a large movement of money on Notts County to either draw or win the match - according to its general secretary Francesco Baranca. Notts won that game 2-0.
A County statement said: "We have spoken to the FA and will be working closely with them as they investigate this allegation. At this point, we will be making no further comment."
Everton Ladies also issued a statement: "The club is aware of the report and has spoken to the Football Association. We are awaiting more information."
Federbet, which is based in Brussels, used its European Parliament appearance to accuse football's authorities of failing to do enough to tackle match-fixing.
A total of 110 matches - including Champions League and Europa League ties - were identified as allegedly having been fixed, with suspicions over a further 350. The total of 460 was up 20% from the previous year, Federbet said.
However, the Football Conference was sceptical of the claims on Wednesday.
It issued a statement saying: "At this time, there is no evidence that any of the fixtures specifically listed by Federbet, relating to our competition, have been the subject of report or investigation.
"Therefore we are at a loss to understand what evidence may exist for Federbet to make such claims."
The two Welsh games raised were Bala Town's 7-0 win over Gap Connah's Quay and Port Talbot Town's 1-1 draw with Carmarthen Town. All four clubs have released statements denying any wrongdoing.
