Rival teams Up'ards and Down'ards battle over a garden wall for the ball in the annual Shrove Tuesday 'no rules' football match on February 24, 2009, in Ashbourne, England. The centuries-old tradition, played between teams from opposite ends of the Derbyshire town, is played by hundreds of participants trying to get a ball into one of two goals that are positioned three miles apart. The ferocious game then lasts until 10 pm. If a goal is scored before 6 pm, then a new ball is 'turned up' again and a new game started. If the goal is after 6 pm then the game ends for that day and continues into Ash Wednesday. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
