    14 the Welsh Premier League and the 'Significant Risk' to Match

    14 The Welsh Premier League and the ‘Significant Risk’ to Match-Manipulation. Is a Specific Offence Required? Matt Hall Introduction The issue of match-fixing is one of the biggest global threats the sports industry faces (Veuthey, 2014; Kihl, Skinner & Engelberg, 2017). The link between match-fixing, and wider criminal networks and corruption is well documented. This has drawn international attention from the likes of Interpol, Europol and the European Union. There exists no uniform definition of match-fixing (Katsarova, 2016). However, the concept of ‘manipulation’ provided by the Australian Sports and Recreation Ministers Council (2011) receives endorsement by the European Parliament (ibid), that being: “Match-fixing involves the manipulation of an outcome or contingency by competitors, teams, sports agents, support staff, referees and officials and venue staff. Such conduct includes: i. the deliberate fixing of the result of a contest, or of an occurrence within the contest; ii. deliberate underperformance; iii. withdrawal (tanking);1 iiii. an official’s deliberate misapplication of the rules of the contest; v. interference with the play or playing surfaces by venue staff; and vi. abuse of insider information to support a bet placed by any of the above or placed by a gambler who has recruited such people to manipulate an outcome or contingency” (p.2). Match-fixing can arise in two forms: betting-related match-fixing with the aim of achieving financial gain; or sports-related match-fixing which is motivated by the desire to qualify for a competition (Katsarova, 2016). This chapter focuses on the former and will use the terms match- fixing and match-manipulation interchangeably throughout.

    Keeping the Ball Rolling: 100 Years of Women's Football in Wrexham'.Pdf

    Keeping the Ball Rolling: 100 Years of women’s football in Wrexham Wrexham feels it is the spiritual home of football in Wales; it hopes the National Football Museum of Wales will be developed as part of Wrexham Museum, which is in the town centre. The Football Association of Wales (FAW) was formed in the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, High Street, Wrexham in 1876 so that a national match could be played against Scotland in 1877; the Welsh team lost 2-0. Photograph by author 1 Photograph by author A bronze Plaque commemorates the FAW on the front of the building. The match was played on The Racecourse Stadium in Wrexham, which according to the Guinness Book of Records is the oldest stadium in Britain still used for International matches. https://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/conference/conference-premier/wrexham-afc- racecourse-ground.html The history of Wrexham Football Team is well documented, but it’s a selective history; there are no women in it. This is the history of the women’s game in Wrexham. 2 The first women’s match at the Racecourse was played in December 1917 by the women of Powell Brothers Munitions factory. Munitions factories were the biggest employers of women during the First World War; Powell Brothers employed 220 women and 36 men. This was the first time Wrexham women worked together in such large numbers as until this time most of them were in domestic service. So, what motivated these young women to challenge the bounds of respectability by playing a contact game on a muddy pitch wearing clothing which was above the knee, let alone the ankle – and in public?
