Haxey, Lincolnshire, UK.  5th January 2019.  The village of Haxey have been practicing the ancient tradition since the 14th Century.  It is believed to be the oldest local tradition in England. Known as the Haxey Hood it is most easily described as a sort of rugby match, with unlimited participants and few rules, as a leather tube is slowly walked by the large unorganised rugby scrum to one of four local pubs, where it remains until the following years game.
