The Moriarty game Greg talks about was apparently a favourite of old time shearers in Australia although according to the book I've got, it was played with beer bottles (ouch). We tried it at a dance once using those foam rubber clubs and people still got knocked about so it's hard to see the attraction for the old blokes. I guess shearing sheep must be pretty boring!
