Royal Shrovetide Football match - a game like no other

It's a game with very few rules, it involves a football and ends in a river - it's the Royal Shrovetide football match.

It takes place every year in Ashbourne in England and the only rule is that you're not allowed to take the ball in a car.

Players push and shove one another to get a kick of the ball and the aim is to get it into the goals which are in a river!
