HUNDREDS of residents in a Scottish town squared up to each other in a traditional ball gamed dating back 250 years.
The Jethard HandBa event sees the Uppies people from the higher part of the Borders town Jedburgh face those from the bottom half, the Doonies.
The objective of the game is to carry the leather ball which is stuffed with moss and newspaper to the right side of the town. For the Uppies, it is towards the castle and over the wall and for the Doonies the goal is the Jed water.
