Sedgefields Shrove Tuesday Ball Game
A tradition which has gone for centuries in the North East village of Sedgefield. After looking into the work of Homer Sykes i decided it would be a great opportunity with shrove tuesday coming up to capture the day which is known in our village as, ball game day. I found it difficult to capture images of the rough and fast moving game, I can understand why i didn't think the images taken by Homer Sykes of games like this were so great.
Pint in one hand, the ball in the other.
The boarded up front street
An on looker stood outside the pub
From inside the Co-op. "Automatic doors out of use during ball game, please pull to open"
The ball up a hieght
Cheers! To almost all those who aren't taking part, this is what the ball game is about!
At the bull ring, the final part!
We have a winner!
Better luck next year lad.
The ball game is over, time to hit the pub.
