Metoo Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Just had a day out in Ashbourne. Without realising it we stumbled upon 'Shrove Football' The shops are all barricaded off for 2 days and the town participates in a game if football lasting 8 Hrs :shocked: there are very few rules and the goal posts are 3 MILES APART :arghh: it is also very hilly See here http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/04/pictures-ashbourne-royal-shrovetide-football-2014-4411550/ The only rules we could find are that you can't commit murder or manslaughter and you can't hide the ball in a bag and run with it. There are some tough men out there :notworthy: also had some really good fish and chips num num num Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
