  2. Local Football

    Share Share Tweet
    Long ago Football was played the very same way as it is now. Jerseys and knicker's were wore but football boots were not. Long ago the ball was placed in the middle of the field and whoever got the ball first won the gam. Long ago football was played more tougher than it is now.
