Knur or Knurr?
[edit]I have redirected Knur and spell to this page instead of being sent bat and trap! I have already stated on the Bat and trap discussion page that this is a completely different game to bat and trap it just has many different versions and variants on names, rule and equipment which are subject to regional variations, by me the game played in Cowling was very different to the one show on country file the other week instead of a spell they used a gallows type of contraption, this is the way I play the sport it is far easier than starting out on a spell! it is best shown in the film OWER BIT BOG OIL (1963-1964) http://www.yfaonline.com/yfapublic/assetDetails.cfm?film=998 there is even a knur and spell group in cowling who have been making new equipment so not to damage the historical ones.

Consolidation
[edit]I have consolidated the material on "trap ball" and "knur and spell" which I found on two separate pages. I think I would favor "Knurr and Spell". Only 1911 Britannica seems to favor "trap ball" of the references I've consulted, but it is the major reference for this article. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 12:20, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Pub Game?
[edit]The article states that knurr and spell was once popular as a pub game then goes on to say it involves hitting a ball 200 yards - this doesn't make much sense as a pub game is a game played IN pubs. Aredbeardeddwarf (talk) 23:49, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
