© Licensed to London News Pictures. 06/01/2018. Haxey, UK. Picture shows the start of The Haxey Hood game that is taking place today in the village of Haxey in Lincolnshire. The Haxey Hood is a traditional event that takes place every January & is played by teams from four pubs, the Carpenters Arms, the Duke William Hotel, The Loco & The kings Arms. The game is like a large rugby scrum called the 'sway' which pushes a leather tube called the 'hood' to one of the four pubs, the game is won when a team gets the hood to the front step of the pub & it is touched by the landlord.
