Скачать или смотреть Royal Shrovetide Football in Ashbourne, England

No, its not some sort of a street riot, its Royal Shrovetide Football in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England. This is an ancient annual sporting event where local Ashbourians divide themselves into 2 teams - 'The Downards' (those living on the south side of Henmore Brook) Vs 'The Uppard's' (those living on the north side). The game is played on the streets of the town and the goals are positioned 3 miles apart. The game starts at 2:00 p.m. when a ball is thrown into the centre of the town and then the mayhem begins. The rules are pretty straightforward, you are not permitted to kill anyone or make use of a motorvehicle to carry the ball. Its a very good natured event but its not an event for the faint hearted.
