I Went To The UKs Most Violent Sport: The Atherstone Ball Game

For the past 825 years in this small and quaint town known as Atherstone the local community have gotten together to take part in a Chaotic and Dangerous game known as The Atherstone Ball game, A form of medieval football were the only rule is......Don't kill anybody. Naturally i thought it'll be a grand old idea to pop down and have a butchers for myself to see what its really about. #treacletowner #atherstoneballgame #football #britain #pancakeday
