The game is similar to shinny, except the ball is moved only by throwing it with the curved stick. It cannot be touched with the hands or feet. The game begins with one player throwing the ball toward centre field. The ball, once caught by a player, cannot be carried on the stick. It must be passed from one player to another.
Players can try to hook the ball by knocking it off their opponents stick.
The team which throws the ball across the goal line wins the game.
