Police have released images of six men they are looking to speak over events at the Atherston Ball Game.

Warwickshire Police said they wanted to speak to the individuals about alleged off-ball violent events at the game earlier this year.

The ball game, held on Shrove Tuesday, sees hundreds of people grapple in the street for possession of a heavy ball.

The force appealed for anyone who recognised the men to contact them.
