? We'll be following the game all day, tweeting our usual live coverage thanks to a massive team on the ground. Follow us to keep up with the action!
Modern rules state the players can sit on it for two hours, so there's a chance they've gone to ground. Last year one of them was having a cup of tea in a family's kitchen
#Shrovetide
Worth remembering there's now a rule which states that if the ball is missing for two hours, it's void.
The players will know the clock is now ticking.

Weather for
#shrovetide
in Ashbourne: Clouding over for the turn-up at 2pm, but should stay dry all day. Chilly breeze this afternoon and it WILL be muddy after yesterday's deluge.

No word from the committee, but no news from the goals either.
