uppies and downies

Uppies and Downies is a game played in Workington, Cumbria, England. Basically, grown men chase a small ball through the town from one end to the other, upper town versus lower town. It sometimes gets quite violent.

"Ere marra, how did ya lose ya finger?"
"Uppies and downies pal, uppies and downies."
