The sun is shining and crowds are gathering. Will it be another victory for the Downies? Or will Uppies salvage a win?

Shaun Adams, 15, is throwing the ball off. It's his first time and he feels it's big responsiblity.

by nicole.regan 4/26/2014 5:20:34 PM
Only a couple of hundred people down tonight though.

and we're off! Shaun threw it right over the top of the waiting group and we're now on the patch of the grass behind the path.

Scrum had a quick change of direction as they realised the ball was behind them. John says if it was a pantomime horse, they thought it was in the head but it was in the bottom!
