Yes, it was that time of year again – the annual Ashbourne Royal Shrovetide football match has once more come and gone.
Every year, the two-day event sees the Up’ards and Down’ards compete against each other in an intense ball game which takes place across Ashbourne – as thousands of spectators descend on the town to watch.

The Up’ards took a 1-0 lead at about 8.15pm on day one after hours of stop-start play. The scorer was named locally as Tom Leighton and the Ashbourne Shrovetide Committee officially confirmed this at the Greenman pub later on.
But the Down’ards ensured there was a dramatic conclusion to day two with a last-minute equaliser, courtesy of Craig Frith, to ensure it was honours even.
