Only an hour and 15 mins to go. Only one team can score really now. #Upards very close but #Downards can still stop them

Repost of an earlier post by Chris Clarke, just because the photo is really atmospheric:
The hug by the river. Feel free to reuse.

"This is where the hug has ended up."So, North of the Henmore Brook, just east of the playing fields but into actual countryside. Still #Upards with the upper hand

We're in the pond now, open water swimming and heading to #Sturston. #Upards are in charge here... the crowds are heading to the top of the pond in the park. It's going to be tricky for #Downards to turn this one around

The ball is still missing...
It seems it is still under the culvert - this is a view from the Dig Street end.The shout of "heave" keeps emantating from the culvert every now and again.

It looks like everyone's getting wet now: The people in the river (the hug still seems stuck under Shaw Croft car park) and the rest of #Ashbourne is getting rained on waiting for it to emerge. I think I'd head to the pub until the ball comes out.

This is not what the #Downards need. The ball seems to be going up stream to the park and people are waiting for the hug to come out from the bridge on Park Road
#Ashbourne #Shrovetide #shrovetide2024 #RoyalShrovetide2024 -
And it's back in the river, under the bridge. It is possible that the hug could take the ball all the way up the river, under the tunnel and out into the park. If that happens, it's advantage #Upards
Blue line shows possible route into the park along the underground section of the Henmore Brook... it does happen.
Ball is still under the bridge on Dig Street though.

Finally a change. The ball breaks from the hug in the river, heads "Up" the brook back to Dig Street, then thrown vertically up to the bridge to street level.
Momentum swings to the #Upards

We've (I say we, I'm 150 miles away!) taken a right-turn now into the back of the Green Man. Looks like 2000 people are heading to the pub.
The balls popped out above the crowd, absolute limbs, people climbing over people heads, steam is rising. A lively start 15 minutes in.
-
Well just for a change it looks like the #Downards have the early advantage from the turn-up. The hug seems to be by the Co-op heading to Dig Street.

I'll be trying to gather some socials to keep up with it, but if you fancy following the action, try https://www.shrovetide.tv/

I love European pre-Lenten carnival so much. The combination of cultural traditions, sometimes ancient, and general merry making is perfect for an interesting ‘holiday’. Throw in some bagpipes and I’m as happy as a bairn in a sweetie shop. #carnival #carnaval #shrovetide #Bagpipes

UPDATE! The #Shrovetide ball has broke from the hug and IS HEADING TO #STURSTON. 2 minutes to go.
Will the Up'ards make it in time?!
#Ashbourne #Shrovetide2023EDIT: NO!!! It's all over for the day, the ball is stuck in a hedge and the last minute excitement comes to nothing.
0 - 0 at the close of Day 1. Anyone's game tomorrow.

@BenCotterill I'm from Leek originally but in Stafford now. But I've always been fascinated. And if social media has any use at all, it's surely for followng #Shrovetide
Just most of Masto hasn't heard of it yet so I'm at home collating what I can see, just in case someone's interested.Thanks for making my efforts today worthwhile Ben!
