pandorea Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 No sissy sports here!! Enough for ice-skating, curling and ski-jumping (yes, I say it, ski jumping is sissy) Just finished watching Australian football on Eurosport2 , HAW won GEEL 119/87. It's great fun. That?s what I?m talking about, Australian football is manly and it?s seriously kick ass. What is your favourite manly sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Self-Transcendence 3,100 Mile Race in Jamaica - Well it?s a 3,100 mile race around a track in Queens, Jamaica of course. What were you expecting from that title? Regardless, it?s manly because runners must complete 5,649 laps of a .5488 of a mile course in a mere 51 days. That equates to about 61 miles a day, every day, for almost two months. You?ll need tremendous courage, physical stamina, concentration and the capacity to endure fatigue and boredom. You might also need to rest your feet for a while before going back to your 9-to-5 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stramash Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Medieval Football - Royal Shrovetide Football in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, UK No, its not some sort of a street riot, its Royal Shrovetide Football in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. This is an ancient annual sporting event where local Ashbourians divide themselves into 2 teams - 'The Downards' (those living on the south side of Henmore Brook) Vs 'The Uppard's' (those living on the north side). The game is played on the streets of the town and the goals are positioned 3 miles apart. The game starts at 2:00 p.m. when a ball is thrown into the centre of the town and then the mayhem begins. The rules are pretty straightforward, you are not permitted to kill anyone or make use of a motorvehicle to carry the ball. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result was actually Geelong 111 defeating Hawthorn 103. Good to see though, that you enjoy watching AFL. The team to watch this year is Carlton !!! Look out for them if you get the chance.
