Longest football pitch

The annual Shrovetide Football Match, played for more than 300 years, it is a game short on rules and long on physical contact between the two teams from Ashbourne, Derbyshire: the Up'ards (those born north of the River Henmore) and the Dow'ards (those born south of the river). The goals are the waterwheels at Clifton (target for the Dow'ards) and Stursdton (target for the Up'ards), three miles apart. The most goals in modern times was 3 in a day, but one a day is average. The pitch is all the water and land in-between, excluding the churchyard, where ball games are forbidden. Players must be in the river to score a goal, which they do by banging the ball three times on the waterwheel. The ball weighs 38lbs, is filled with cork shavings and elaborately decorated. Play starts at 2pm Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday. If the match remains scoreless, it ends at 10pm. A new ball is granted if a goal is scored before 5pm. The highest score in modern times was 3 in a day, but one a day is average.
In 2003 the game was started by HRH Prince Charles and the game has been subject of a US documentary that first aired in 2012.
