Norrie88 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Thought I would share this link to show a traditional game thats played on the streets of Orkney on christmas day and new years day. Basically there is two packs that fight to get the 'ba', leather ball that's slightly bigger and heavier than a football, to the basin or to the gable end of a house. There is a better explanation on the site. No rules either. Worth a look. http://www.walterhaywood.co.uk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVQyFO_lbqM A good video of a game from a few years ago.

Westy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Went up to Orkney a couple of years ago for Xmas and new years and watched it first hand. Can be exciting, but can take forever too!lol! Have you been!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie88 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 I've not been in it. Not really had much interest. Might do it sometime just to say i've done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
