World Record 5 a Side Football Match | Leeds | 4th & 5th April 2009

On Saturday the 4th April a team of guys set out to beat the 5 a side world record for charity. Jon & Andrea set out the challenge to raise money for the Children's Heart Surgery Fund at Leeds LGI. Their daughter Zoe had life-saving open heart surgery when she was three weeks old. This charity is also special to my wife and I as our son Cameron also has a heart condition and recieves support from the Children's Heart Surgery Fund.
The sixteen lads played for 25 hours, beating the previous record by 30 minutes!. In the final reckoning, the Lionhearts pipped the Bravehearts by 502-323. Top goalscorer was Lee with 168. An amazing effort from all the lads and each and every volunteer who came along.
To date they have raised a staggering £12,619.
Well done to all.
