Draco-REX Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yeah, it's one of those zany UK sports. I had never seen it played before.. Imagine someone combined Baseball and Ice Hockey, then played it on a field that does double-duty for Football and Soccer. Oh, and turn the equipment dial back to the 20s.. This is rather entertaining... I have no idea what the rules are and the scores make no sense (1-02 to 0-00??), but seeing line drives at a soccer net through a bunch of people wearing only shirts and shorts for protecting is pretty crazy. And imagine the goalie! He has to stop the ball with no additional equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 ball in the net is 1-00 ball in the uprights 0-01 never seen this sport in my life looks like there is some rule about carrying the ball for so long. hence, balancing on the end of the paddle for longer distances.

rb26deet32 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I can't wait til they make a sport where there are two sides. They both have armor and swords, bows and arrows and the main goal is to kill the other team. That would be fun to watch :fa: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
