It's been hit a lot. I swear the U18s and U21s aim at me on purpose. But yesterday was square on by a first teamer. With power. It hurts haha. That hood was a third party one as when I got the lens, it was minus the hood. Got a cheap one off Wex for £30. Don't think it's just the hood though, the lens has taken a big knock as well and my camera. The broken hand shows that. Glad I have insurance lol
It wont be at your own risk because there is virtually nothing like that now,the club will have PLI even if for the simple reason they where sued. Everyone is liable now that's why there are risk assessments and PLI for just about everything. They club,players will have PLI and what is that for if it is not for third parties being injured. If the ball had hit you and caused a really bad permanent injury requiring life long care who would pay? It should be the PLI of the club or player. I think that the difficulty is in a small claim that if a claim where brought there would be a bad recation from the club. I think if it was me and a lot of money was involved I would start a claim and see what happened.For a small amount it's not really worth rocking the boat.
Yes, we are definitely at risk when pitchside! Especially when (now ex) managers (or Head Coach in our case) backheel a ball in your direction and moan they missed.

Don't use Fixation.They are either incompetent or on the con. My experience with them here. https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/t...ement-suggestions-please.598316/#post-6980762 The facts speak for themselves.Will they assess my camera as well though? I didn't think they would so that's why I thought about Fixation. Plus doubt the insurance will cover two lots of courier fees
saw this and thought of you
hope you get it all sorted ok, I've had ,lenses saved by the hoods, never use on without now
i had £1500 worth of damage to a D3S and Nikon 400mm f/2.8 when a try scoring player decided to hoof the ball as hard as he could, hit side or camera and lens, insurance covered it though
Just picked myself up a 400mm f/2.8 so might get back into shooting sports at amateur level, wifey has changed shift patterns and im at a loose end most weekends

Plenty of other reliable repairers. Sendean are one.
Ive had about 60st of players land on top of me, but the difference between you and me is, they were pushed into touch and landed on me but allegedly you invite them on top of youRugby balls tend to be a lot harder. And they hurt more. Really we should get danger money for this!

Was this a dressing room injury!!!!!!Right now I've had the sympathy about the camera, can I have some sympathy for the fractured hand it bloody hurts
