I mentioned this on the Lupercalia thread, but it was lost amid the chaos I had wrought. I thought it might prove interesting:

Apart from the well-known Creation of Golf myth in The Hobbit, Orc-chasing and hunting wild kine, can anyone think of a reference to any kind of sport in the Middle-Earth books?

Not that I'm complaining: I can't stand exercise, but it's a matter that's been occupying my so-called thoughts of late.
