I for one won't deviate from my normal policy of drinking Harveys best bitter for this sport (and any other).
We've used the rules quoted above for at least the last thirty years at the Lewes Arms. Our most memorable match was in the early 1980s, when we had a three-cornered contest between teams from the Lewes Arms front bar, Glyndebourne (chorus and LPO members) and the Newhaven lifeboat crew.
