A world record for the longest football match was set after a 36 hour battle ended with a 285-255 scoreline.
Leeds Badgers beat Bristol Academy in the epic match which beat the previous record of 33hrs, 36mins.
Each team had 18 players who each played around 18 hours, staying at the Bristol pitch during their breaks.
The game, documented by volunteers keeping video and logbook evidence, was held to raise £10,000 for the Meningitis Trust.
Former Liverpool FC star and Welsh international Ian Rush, who had meningitis as a child, said: "These players are amazing."
