Ospreys boss Mike Cuddy assault charge dropped

Mike Cuddy denied the charge against him

The managing director of rugby region the Ospreys has had an assault charge against him dropped.

Mike Cuddy, 47, who also runs Neath-based demolition firm Cuddy Group, was accused of assaulting a man outside the Liberty Stadium after a game in March.

Mr Cuddy denied the allegation and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed it had been withdrawn.

The man involved was believed to have been working as a car park attendant at the time.

Jonathan Coombs, senior prosecutor for the CPS in Wales, said: "Our latest review of the case against Mr Cuddy concluded that there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction, as a result of the complaint against him having been withdrawn.

"We have therefore discontinued the case against Mr Cuddy and informed all parties of our decision."
