peterinfrance Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't know if the spelling is right but I remember playing a game pronounced Shove Hapeney when I was at Rowlinson school. It was played on a desk top and as in football there were 2 goals at each side and we used a Halfpenny as the ball and pennies (old) as the player. A ruler end was used to propel the man (penny) to hit the ball (halfpenny) and try to score in the goal by taking turns. I can't remember all the rules but we were mad about this game and played it at every opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THYLACINE Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Oh eye, played shuv 'apeney heaps at school, at lunch time on wet days or just between classes if the teacher was late. We loved it. Then when we got home we played Subuteo. On the weekends we watched United then played in the Sunday league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
