“Pise-ball” was mentioned in a newspaper column where the writer was protesting how children were being deprived of their opportunities to play games in a Sheffield park because so many adults were swarming in to play sports. He wrote: “The point is that the children are being robbed 'all ends up,' to use a local term. Adults are catered for by works and church sports clubs, and it is not fair to rob the children of their cricket pitches, their football grounds, or their 'pise-ball' corners.”
