Boxing Day Flour & Soot Massacre
The highlight of the Bakers and Sweeps calender is without doubt the Boxing Day Charity football match.
Although we use the term "football" in it's loosest sense!!!.
Yes we do play the match on a football pitch and yes we do have a 9ft inflatable ball but it's safe to say thats where the similarity ends!
The rules of the game are simple.....there are none!
If your holding the ball, then you become the ball, and are treated as such. In which case you'd better run!!
Even the crowd isn't safe!
Sometimes it's neccessary for the teams to engage in medival duels to settle century long arguments!!
The game ends when the referee feels like it or when he's tired of being covered in flour and soot.
The winners are...well...who cares who wins most of the time we've lost count anyway!!
