    Report from Friendly Soccer Match Between TownPress and Pressville

    Football refers to a number of sports that involve, to varying degrees, kicking a ball with the foot to score a goal. Unqualified, the word football is understood to refer to whichever form of football is the most popular in the regional context in which the word appears: association football (also known as soccer) in the United Kingdom and most of the non-English speaking world; gridiron football (specifically American football or Canadian football) in the United States and Canada; Australian rules football or rugby league in different areas of Australia; Gaelic football in Ireland; and rugby football (specifically rugby union) in New Zealand. These different variations of football are known as football codes.

    Various forms of football can be identified in history, often as popular peasant games. Contemporary codes of football can be traced back to the codification of these games at English public schools in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The influence and power of the British Empire allowed these rules of football to spread to areas of British influence outside of the directly controlled Empire, though by the end of the nineteenth century, distinct regional codes were already developing: Gaelic Football, for example, deliberately incorporated the rules of local traditional football games in order to maintain their heritage. In 1888, The Football League was founded in England, becoming the first of many professional football competitions. During the twentieth century, several of the various kinds of football grew to become among the most popular team sports in the world.

    TownPress Half Marathon Draws over 500 Runners

    A half marathon is a road running event of 21.0975 kilometres (13.1094 mi). It is half the distance of a marathon and usually run on roads. Participation in half marathons has grown steadily. One of the main reasons for this is that it is a challenging distance, but does not require the same level of training that a marathon does. In 2008, Running USA reported that the half marathon is the fastest growing type of race. A 2010 article by Universal Sports echoed the growing popularity of the distance. It is common for a half marathon event to be held concurrently with a marathon, using almost the same course with a late start, an early finish or shortcuts. The half marathon is also known as a 21K, 21.1K or 13.1 miles, although these values are rounded and not formally correct.

  • Famous Mountain Bike Trails Near TownPress

    Mountain biking is the sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially designed mountain bikes. Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.

    Mountain biking can generally be broken down into multiple categories: cross country, trail riding, all mountain (also referred to as “Enduro”), downhill, freeride and dirt jumping. Although the majority of mountain biking falls into the categories of Trail and Cross Country riding styles.

    Mountain bikers ride on off-road trails such as singletrack, back-country roads,fire roads, and often venture to ski resorts that stay open in the summer for such activities. Because riders are often far from civilization, there is a strong ethic of self-reliance in the sport. Riders learn to repair broken bikes and flat tires to avoid being stranded. Many riders carry a backpack, including water, food, tools for trailside repairs, and a first aid kit in case of injury. Group rides are common, especially on longer treks. Mountain bike orienteering adds the skill of map navigation to mountain biking.

  • Report from Annual Table Tennis Tournament

    Table tennis, also referred to as ping pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using a small, round bat. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, players must allow a ball played toward them only one bounce on their side of the table and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent’s options, giving the hitter a great advantage. When doing so the hitter has a better chance of scoring if the spin is successful.

    Table tennis is governed by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF), founded in 1926. ITTF currently includes 226 member associations. The table tennis official rules are specified in the ITTF handbook. Table tennis has been an Olympic sport since 1988, with several event categories. From 1988 until 2004, these were men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles and women’s doubles. Since 2008, a team event has been played instead of the doubles.

  • Interview with Arm Wrestler Tone Vilhelmas

    Arm wrestling involves two participants. One places one arm on a surface with their elbows bent and touching the surface, and they grip each other’s hand. The goal is to pin the other’s arm onto the surface, with the winner’s arm over the loser’s arm.

    Various factors can play a part in one’s success in arm wrestling. Technique and overall arm strength are the two greatest contributing factors to winning an arm wrestling match. Other factors such as the length of an arm wrestler’s arm, his/her muscle and arm mass/density, hand grip size, wrist endurance and flexibility, reaction time, as well as countless other traits, can add to the advantages of one arm wrestler over another. It is sometimes used to prove who is stronger between two or more people. In competitive arm wrestling, as sanctioned by the United States Armwrestling Federation (USAF), arm wrestling is performed with both competitors standing up with their arms placed on a tournament arm wrestling table.

  • Recuerdos de mi niñez

     

    15 de febrero del 2018. Me llamo Ricardo Miranda y acabo de ajustar 80 años de edad y me acuerdo mucho de mi infancia y de los amigos que jugaban con migo y se los voy a compartir. En el atrio de Joco no avía jardín era pura tierra y unas tumbas de algunos sacerdotes muertos y de flores nada mas una asalia roja. El atrio se  usaba para ir a ser del baño en la noche y los borrachos a cualquier hora. Nosotros chiquillos lo usábamos para jugar canicas. Con un palito de paleta asíamos una rueda en la tierra y  en medio de la rueda  poníamos las canicas que íbamos a apostar y ya nos poníamos de acuerdo quien iba a tirar primero desde Lugo el que tiraba primero tenía más ventaja de ganar porque las poníamos todas juntas y el primero le tiraba al montón y todas las que sacara fuera de la ruda eran para el asta que dejara de sacar y ya seguía el siguiente. Todas las canicas tenían nombre y valor pero no me acuerdo haber quien de mis amigos se acuerda y me ayuda a corregir, yo me acuerdo de las agüitas y que su valor era 5. Cada jugador tenía su ágata que era una canica grande que pudiera tirar con 2 dedos y con esa sacar las que estaban en la rueda y no dejar que el tiro se saliera de la rueda. Yo tenía el mío y le decía el cacaréalo porque de tanto jugar ya estaba todo cacarizo. Y casi diario mi madre me daba 3 sogas os con la soga del pozo porque llegaba mugroso y roto del pantalón de tanto jugar de rodillas. Luego les digo todos los vagos que jugaban con migo.
