SEND FLOWERS IN ATHERSTONE, WARWICKSHIRE

Atherstone is a small town in the county of Warwickshire and mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is said that the Battle of Bosworth actually took place in the fields of Merevale above Atherstone. Certainly, reparation was made to Atherstone after the battle and not to Market Bosworth. An annual tradition in Atherstone is the Shrove Tuesday Ball Game played on a public highway with large crowds. The game celebrated its 800th anniversary in 1999. The game is a complete free-for-all played along Watling Street (the old Roman road) at the point where it forms themain street of Atherstone town. The ball is decorated with red, white and blue ribbons and is made of thick leather to make it too heavy to kick far. The match lasts about two hours, and half an hour from full-time the ball may legitimately be deflated or hidden. There are no teams and no goals, (so why is it called football??). There is only one rule: players are not allowed to kill one another. Whoever is able to hang onto the ball at the end of the game not only wins the game but is allowed to keep the ball as well.
