Entertain the kids and stay in one of the family friendly Peak District holiday cottages and watch the spectacle as a cork-filled leather ball is thrown up by a visiting personality and the 2 sides, the Up`ards and the Down`ards battle it through the streets, through the stream, and across open country between the goals at Sturston and Clifton, which are three miles apart.
