    Preparations are under way for the annual Royal Shrovetide Football match in Ashbourne today.

    The game, which has been played since at least the 17th Century, involves two sides competing to move a ball to posts at opposing ends of the town - three miles apart.

    Shop

    It takes place across fields, streets, car parks and waterways each Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.

    Traders across the town take precautions to stop windows being smashed.

    The ball will be "turned up" at 14:00 and can go on until 22:00 but it is forbidden to play after this time.

    Windows boarded up

    The two teams are known as the Up'Ards and the Down'Ards - depending on whether players were born north or south of the River Henmore.

    This was the game last year when Up'Ards won 1-0.

    BBC News

    About 50 concerned residents met police officers at a meeting last night to discuss a rise in anti-social behaviour in Stapleford.

    Officers have stepped up patrols after two dispersal orders were enforced to prevent groups of youths gathering.

    The order also covers Long Eaton and Sandiacre where a 15-year-old boy was stabbed earlier this month.

    Police meeting

    Residents say there has also been a spate of car vandalism and mopeds being illegally ridden around parks and some front gardens.

    Insp Steve Wragg, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "We are doing a lot, I appreciate sometimes enough is never enough.

    "We are here, we are in the community and we are working hard, not just the police but other partners and also Derbyshire Police as well to make sure people feel safe in the communities."
