Updates:
Hurling the Silver Ball • St Columb Major • Cornwall • Shrove Tuesday and Saturday week following
Unique in being a Shrovetide football where the ball is thrown, not kicked. Hundreds of uncounted hurlers turn up, the two teams being the Townsmen and the Countrymen. Goals are about two miles apart, but a goal can also be scored by being carried over the parish boundary. The ball is thrown up at 4.30; in the evening youngsters get ‘silver cocoa’; later the silver ball goes round the pubs being submerged in beer to provide ‘silver beer’. ® Chris Ridley, 1/1/2012
