The Cheese's sport

Last year there were more than 500 people on hand and some amateurs who had earlier visited the local pub, The Cheese Rollers tried a little unsteadily to infiltrate the professional's ranks.
All that is really needed are competitors willing to chase a well-packaged, well-rounded few kilograms of Double Gloucester cheese down a hillside.
Speed trials have clocked a fine cheese specimen at 112 kps for 200 meters down Cooper's Hill, seven kilometers outside Gloucester, in the English Cotswolds. The cheese is given a one second start and then the race is on.
the problem is, of course, that the round, bouncy cheese has a distinct advantage and the lads and lasses don't stay upright for more than a few meters at a time.
The winner is the person first past the post and in one piece. Injuries are common and ambulances are on hand. The cheese is rarely apprehended.
Indifference prevents us from searching out the rules of the Eton Wall Game, which has been played for 300 years at the above address of private school.
Players, often including future monarchs, are pushed against a wall in their efforts to move a ball in one direction or another. No-one has scored since 1999. A spectator sport it is not.
