The game was played here until 1932 between the Upstreeters and Downstreeters., play started at 1p.m. and finishing at 6p.m. the centre of the street was the dividing line and whichever side the ball was at 6p.m. that side won. The ball was thrown from the Queens head hotel in the centre of the town and it is known that more than 400 players took part. The game was stopped when a number of players were fined under the highways act for obstructing the highways and causing an annoyance to pedestrians!
