Phil Parker CritchleyOnly an hour and 15 mins to go. Only one team can score really now. #Upards very close but #Downards can still stop them

#Upards about halfway to #Sturston now, and it's proper dark. It'll only take one break away to get it to the goal...
But #Downards could still snatch it!
Green on the left shows the turn-up starting point, red is where we are now. Sturston goal is the heart on the right.
We're in the pond now, open water swimming and heading to #Sturston. #Upards are in charge here... the crowds are heading to the top of the pond in the park. It's going to be tricky for #Downards to turn this one around

This is not what the #Downards need. The ball seems to be going up stream to the park and people are waiting for the hug to come out from the bridge on Park Road

Well just for a change it looks like the #Downards have the early advantage from the turn-up. The hug seems to be by the Co-op heading to Dig Street.
I'll be trying to gather some socials to keep up with it, but if you fancy following the action, try https://www.shrovetide.tv/
