International marbles competition held in Czech capital

What organisers have dubbed the World Marbles Championships were held in Prague on Saturday. Around 40 players from the Czech Republic and elsewhere took part in the event, which was held in the park by the Štefánik Observatory at the top of the city’s Petřín Hill. Participants played in twos in a straight knock-out system, aiming their marbles at a hole 7.5 metres from the throwing line. The championship was organised by the Czech Marbles Federation.
