The first game of the Uppies and Downies was held in Workington on Good Friday.
We were there to capture all the action of the traditional no-rules mass football game and we brought you all the action as it happened.
Uppies were victorious after a hard-fought match – with Shane Roe hailing it for the side at Workington Hall.
Downies will have it all to play for in the next matches on Easter Tuesday and next Saturday.

Remember to join us next Tuesday and Saturday as we bring you all the action again as it happens with our live blog!
Thanks to Mark Regan for the photos – here’s our favourite:
He says if you’d like to buy your favourite, head over to his website here (and his photos also go back to the mid-2010s too)
