Haxey Hood 2019
- 4 years ago
Pubgoers have brought a 700-year-old tradition back to life by scrambling and fighting with rival villagers - over a piece of leather.
The annual event sees a large scrum formed by competing teams who then push a 2ft leather tube – know as the hood - to one of four pubs to re-stoke the Medieval ritual of 'The Haxey Hood'.
