Annual Shrovetide Football Match Takes Place In Ashbourne

ASHBOURNE, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 09: Rival teams the 'Up'ards and Down'ards' battle for the ball during the annual Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide 'no rules' football match on February 9, 2016 in Ashbourne, England. Played since the 17th Century, the annual Shrovetide Football Match sees teams from opposite ends of the Derbyshire town of Ashbourne aim to get a ball into one of two goals that are positioned three miles apart at either end of Ashboune. The game has 'no rules' and can sometimes end in injury and damage to property although volunteer stewards keep a watchful eye for any serious foul play or possible damage. The match starts on Shrove Tuesday and can last until 10 PM. If a goal is scored before 6 PM then a new ball is 'turned up' again and a new game started. If the goal is after 6 PM then the game ends for that day and continues into the next day, known as Ash Wednesday. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
