When the defendant is participating in sporting events, the demands of the game will be foremost in his mind. Provided he uses reasonable care to play by the rules he will not be liable to other participants or spectators. See Condon v Basi [1985] 2 All ER 453 and Watson v Gray, The Times, 26 November 1998, cases involving footballers (both discussed under General Defences in Chapter 9).
