Thought it would be interesting to have a thread for alternative or minority sports - there's thousands of them out there.

I'll offer Road Bowling from County Cork as a start - still going today although this film is from 1957



As a kid we used to play a version of this with a football on the streets of Clubmoor....

Yes think it did a few years a go. When the Indian/Pakistani lads I worked with at Fords tried to explain it to me, it sounded like a cross between tick and a game we played at primary school, Lallio I think we called it. But when I saw a game on a park in Southall it still looked like a cross between tick and a game we played at primary.

I was lead to believe the basics where you had to obviously 'tag' one from the other team without getting swamped and caught, BUT you were supposedly limited to time by how long you could hold your breath while repeatedly saying 'kabbadi kabbadi kabbadi'.. We played our own version that was fun!
