Summary

Whole town takes part in game which has no rules, and whose origin is lost in mists of our ancient history. [Cameramen: Gemmell, Starmer.] Official ‘ban’ did not prevent the game being played at CHESTER-LE-STREET ... oh no! Police pounce on ball and make arrest ... then they found another one ... and another one! [Cameraman: Nicholson.] ST COLUMB, Cornwall, where they usher Lent in with hurling game, played without a break from time immemorial. [Cameraman: Wyand.]
