Alnwick Shrove Tuesday Football [References: 1]

Report

A Football game between the parishes of St. Paul and St. Michael (North and South) in Alnwick, Northumberland, have gone head-to-head on Shrove Tuesday (Pancake Day) since 1762. The ball is thrown into the river Aln by the Duke of Northumberland and the two teams (who can field as many playersfrom their own parish as they can muster) try to become the first to score two “Hales”.

The pitch becomes very muddy thanksto the river and there is no size limit to it. The parish of St. Michael won in 2015 with two hales to nil, scored by self-employed Lee Pattisson, 33, and 15-year old Duchess’s Community High School pupil Ronnie Coxford.

Ashbourne Shrovetide Football (Derbyshire Medieval Football)

Report

According to historical sources, Roman Legions played their British counterparts in a game of Football on Shrove Tuesday in Derby in 217 AD, with the Britons winning. It is hard to believe that Ancient Britons, still Celtic, and before the arrival of both Ango-Saxon tribes in England, and also before the arrival of Christianity played a game on a day associated with Lent in the Christian calendar.

Maybe the game was played and later Christian legend ascribed it to Shrove Tuesday, or it was warfare which the Britons won, and was thus later made out to be a Football game by Christian scribes. Nevertheless, whether it was warfare or Football the Celtic Britons won that day.

It is interesting to note the game was played in Derby, given that this is the name given to local rivalries in English and Scottish Soccer (e.g. Liverpool v Everton, Manchester United v Manchester City), and that a game known as Shrovetide Football is still played in Derbyshire to this day, in Ashbourne, with no rules and the same Medieval mob aspect to the game as the other Medieval British Football games.

Kirkwall Ba’ Game (Orkney Medieval Football)

About

The Orkney Ba’ game is played on Christmas Day and New Years’ Day each year in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, in the North sea off Scotland. It is a Medieval Football game played with a Ba’ (Ball made of cork and covered with leather). two opposing sides, the Uppies and Doonies (those born to the North of the Cathedral are Doonies and those born to the South of the Cathedral are Uppies).

The Uppie goal is to touch the Ba’ against a wall in the South end of the town. The Doonies have to get the ball into the water of Krkwall Bay to the North of the town. There are no official rules or limit to the number of players on each side although “inappropriate behaviour” is kept in check.

Usually a tight scrum develops around the Ba’ but when the scrum breaks chaos erupts as the team with possession tries to get to their goal as fast as they can. A game can last up to five hours, although there is only one goal scored and the game is up.
