- Taking place at Shrovetide each year, this is a football game like no other. With goals 3 miles apart, 5000 players, Up'ards and Down'ards (depending on which side of the river you were born), these are two days in the calendar that an Asburnian won't miss. Scores may be settled in the melée. The Shrovetide Committee take out insurance to cover property damage. The teams train throughout the year. This is a serious endeavour.
