The World Marbles Championships 2019

German side ‘Saxonia Globesnippers’ won the 2019 World Marbles Championship on Good Friday in West Sussex, beating former champions Black Dog Boozers by 39 – 0 in the one-sided final. The car park of the ‘The Greyhound’ public house may not be the most salubrious of locations but, according to folklore, this site has been used since 1588. It is claimed that marbles have been played at Tinsley Green in West Sussex for hundreds of years, although the current World championship games hark back to its revival in the early 1930s. The ring is a concrete circle, six feet in diameter and covered in sand. Forty-nine marbles are compressed into a circular "pack" at the middle of the ring. To decide who starts the game, each captain of the team has a “nose drop.” Here a marble is held on the tip of their nose and dropped onto the playing surface, the marble closest to the edge of the ring without going outside the ring plays first. Players are each armed with a tolley marble – This is their playing marble and is slightly bigger than the 49 other marbles in the game. A point is scored for each marble their “shooter” knocks out of the ring. A player's knuckle must be touching the ground when shooting, this is known as "knuckling down" in marble jargon. The first team to reach 25 points wins. This was the last time the World Championships were held ; 2020 & 2021 were cancelled because of the pesky pandemic.
