Based on a separate thread, Specialone stated that he played "British (not euro) bulldog as well". Although I have never heard it called Euro.
I went to a strange type of college when I started my apprenticeship at Leyland in the 70s. The building was provided by work, the only pupils were Leyland employees, not only did they take you through C&G, and ONC they also did for us specialist non exam courses in stuff like gearbox, axle, engine, chassis, suspension designs and technology. However all the staff were supplied and paid for my the local education authority. It was compulsory whilst attending there to do PE.
We had access to the Leyland motors sports facilities which meant football. cricket, tennis. As I was on the keylist I sometimes used the range for rifle/pistol as the guy in charge of PE had said any sport. Put what this long post is about we also had use of the small but effective college gym.
Not a modern gym full of static muscle making equipment, but a hall with climbing frames, ropes etc. and there was only one game in town. Murder Ball.
So come on who has played it. For those who lived in modern closeted times. Two teams of any size, a mat on opposite ends of the playing surface. objective is to put the ball on the opponents mat.
Rules, time as long as you have got, no eye gouging.
My mother ran the medical centre at Leylands South Works which was the nearest facility to the college. Despite her complaints, broken arms/legs. shoulders and jaws plus the odd tooth were a weekly result of this man forming right of passage. It made the weak strong, and the strong, mind full that there were bigger or groups that could take them.
I doubt any educational facility still allows this sort of physical exercise. But please enlighten me. Does the favorite game of my youth still get played.
And how about we set up a game for the AR. Teams to be Real Men Vs southern shandy suppers. Hmmm Bear can be an adopted northern man for the day
