The sporting tradition known as 'bottle kicking' takes place between Hallaton and Medbourne as participants compete to bring a wooden barrel of beer across a boundary to their respective village.
Hundreds of villagers have taken part in a violent Easter Monday tradition that sees two neighbouring Leicestershire villages battle over a barrel of beer.
The event on Monday afternoon was preceded by a parade led by the Nene Valley Pipe Band and the ceremonial slicing up and distribution of a Hare pie. The pie is blessed by a Hallaton vicar, before being cut apart and thrown towards onlooking crowds to scramble over the food.
