Page 6 - Deal Round Up January 2020

So then there were no fewer than 15 clubs left in the competition before the first round
replays – including another Step 4 side Chichester City, who were rewarded with an away
tie at either Tranmere Rovers or Wycombe Wanderers after receiving a first-round bye – the
magic of the FA Cup will no doubt return with the next rounds.
Hopefully, by then, the Premier League ignoramuses might actually have an idea who to put
their money on!
Food For Thought For Non-League Clubs By David Richardson
The court ruling that has seen Ossett United ordered to pay £135,000 will have given Non-
League clubs plenty of food for thought about how they approach the issue of player-to-player
insurance.
The BetVictor Northern Premier League North West club have been sued by Rees Welsh, who
broke his ankle in a tackle while playing for Radcliffe Borough against Ossett Town in April
2015.
Just over £19,000 in damages were awarded to the full-back, making his debut, with the club
also having to pay out £115,000 in costs and legal fees.
Ossett’s insurance, which included a public liability policy offered by the Northern Premier
League and the minimum requirement as set out by the FA, did not cover player-to-player
incidents and only covered their own legal fees should they lose a claim.
The club is now considering selling their ground in order to pay off the hefty bill.
NPL chairman Mark Harris told The NLP: “We make it clear within all the communications –
and it’s in the third line of the first paragraph of the communication that goes out to clubs
– that it does not include player-to-player cover.
“We will continue to recommend the policy we have for public liability and personal accident.
If anything this is to remind clubs it doesn’t include player-to-player.”
