A Leicestershire netball club have finally had their Guinness World Record confirmed for the most goals scored in a 24-hour period.
Ashby Netball Club, set the tally during a 24-hour netball marathon in February but has only just had it verified by Guinness World Records.
The club’s players aimed to beat the number of netball goals scored in a 24 hour period.
In the end, the final number of goals was 28,745 – which more than doubled the current World Record.
A social media post said: “It’s the announcement that we’ve all been waiting for – Ashby Netball Club is officially a Guinness World Record Title Holder!
“The hard work, dedication, and pure determination of our incredible team paid off in the most spectacular way.
“We are beyond thrilled to share this extraordinary achievement with all of you!”
More than 50 people participated in the challenge, which was held at Charnwood College in Loughborough.
As a result of their record breaking efforts, the team also raised over £20,000 for the Midlands-based charity Kids Village – which is the UK’s first purpose-built holiday venue just for children with critical illness and their families.
