  • "Square" Guide Why the Lelos? 2
    The Lelos of Georgia "Square" Guide Why the Lelos? 2 Georgia National Rugby Side is nick-named the Lelos for a very obvious reason: Lelo-burti (Lelo-ball) is an ancient, free-for-all form of folk football, still alive in the Western part of the country and from time to time, being codyfied and supported by sports authorities Lelo has its roots in pagan times as the ball symbol- ized the Sun, one of the seven cesestial bodies wor- shipped throughout the Middle East Then the game which, by the way, still is a tested form of military training, was adopted by the Orthodox Church to such an extent that the Priest used to bless Shukhuti Temple Priest presents the ball at Easter 2011 a red - the most revered Christian colour - ball at Easter and throw it up to the players Village vied with village, Uppies (Zemourebi) with Downies (Kvemourebi, married men with betrotheds and bachelors, and sometimes teams were selected even on tribal lines, esp in a sea-side town of Poti The goal of the Lelo-burti was to bring the ball to a pre-marked place, that is Lelo. Hence, it is almost by default that both an in-goal area and a try in contemp- rorary Georgian are referred to as Lelo The folk game got its first - written by scholars - rules in 1930s and 40s. According to them, when played on a modern, 100m long pitch, Lelo is a13-a- side contest. The ball is too heavy to be thrown afar Carrying, passing and kicking are unlimited but as in Georgian wrestling, one can only tackle opposing ball- carrier above the waist.
