The Irish have entered the world of strange sports.

          
The season of goodwill was firmly put to one side in the Republic of Ireland earlier after hundreds took part in an annual Christmas Tree throwing competition. the 'sport' is very popular in the Scandinavian countries of northern Europe.  Held in Ennis, County Clare since 2012, it's a simple contest. Who can throw a 5ft Christmas tree the furthest?  The traditional trophy is an old badminton trophy with a badminton racket hanging out of it and a Christmas tree on top.
