London Irish Silly Sports Day AKA London Irish (1914-1918)

London Irish silly sports day. Weird sports; contests. London Irish Sports Meeting; during World War l. First a ’Centipede Race’ a really weird and wacky event; in which groups of 5 guys run backwards with a pole between their legs; spectators in background. Shot of a row of guys lying on the ground; with a row of guys standing at their feet. The guys lying down all spring up at once or try to; since their lower halves are inside bags. Some of them get right up and start hopping in the sack race; while others can’t even seem to stand up. Back view of sack race; one guy wipes out; falls forward with a bounce. More guys jumping and falling. Very silly and funny in a slapstick way. (G 341 A) FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
