What is Aunt Sally? It is a popular pub tossing game where "sticks" 18 inches long, 2 inches in diameter, are thrown at a single white stubby skittle, about 6 inches high and 2 and 3/4 inches in diameter called a "dolly" positioned on top of a hollow rod (the "iron") driven into the earth so that the top is two and a half feet above the ground. Players of this game throw the sticks at it from behind a line known as the "hockey" which is 10 yards from the iron, scoring a point for each direct hit. This game is played mainly in the Oxford and Warwickshire area in the UK and is believed to have been introduced by Royalist soldiers during the English Civil war when Charles set up court in Oxford"
