Several versions:

(1) Played in the Bristol area of UK. Simliar to rugby, i.e. involved getting a ball into the opositions goal by any means. This meant that the person with the ball was fair game for any type of attack levelled at him, but a man without the ball was safe. In theory. Sometimes played with a medicine ball which makes it difficult to throw or pass, which means you have to get the ball across your opponent's line by brute force alone.

(2) A game played with a tennis ball, although golfballs were sometimes used when revenge was called for. At the start of the game the players were all lined up in front of a wall. The ball was then thrown against the wall. If you caught or picked up the ball you could throw it against the wall again but you had to remain where you were.

If you were hit by the ball, dropped it, threw a ball that hit the ground before it hit the wall or threw a ball over the wall, then you had to stand in front of the wall and were a target for anyone throwing the ball against the wall. If you were "on the wall" and you caught the ball you got to rejoin the others throwing the ball against the wall. The game was played in whatever time was available to do so. (3) Also known as Mugby. The rules were basically the same, if you have the ball, you are fair game to get the crap beaten out of you. Contributor says he cant seem to rec all there being any goals or anything - odd that!
