the Annual World Marbles Championship kick offs in UK

The annual World Marbles Championship in West Sussex of United Kingdoms had taken place every Friday at the Greyhound pub since 1932 and follows in the tradition of the game dating back to the 16th Century.

The game works with 49 target marbles grouped closely together in a 6ft raised concrete ring covered with sand. In the competition, two teams of six players have to take turns using the tip of the finger to aim and project a larger marble to drive the other marbles out of the ring. The first team to knock 25 marbles out of the ring is the winner.
