Shin Kicking Championship photo gallery
The British Shin Kicking Championship 2008 was an annual highlight of the Cotswold Olimpick Games – with straw-legged competitors from across the country seen giving one another a good kicking, quite literally.
The competitors came from far and wide to take part in what has become a cult sport across the nation, when the fiercely-fought British Shin Kicking Championship got under way at the Cotswold Olimpick Games in Chipping Campden on Friday 30 May 2008.
See SoGlos.com’s close-ups of the live action, including celebrity competitors Rory McGrath and Patrick McGuinness; scuffles with side-line spectators; as well as the awarding of the 2008 champion Steve ‘The Bull Dog’ Williams.
See SoGlos.com’s video of the British Shin Kicking Championship 2008, and find out more about the history of the sport with the brutal background.
