This is Jugger

Two teams with five players in each team.

The Runner is the only one who can take the skull and score.

The four enforcers will protect the runner in their team.

The object of the game is to put the skull in the other team’s goal.

The halves or periods are kept in order with the beat of a drum, which also allows players to keep track of the time they are tagged.

The Jugger originated from the 1989 movie “The Blood of Heroes” / “The Salute of the Jugger”.
