Here are a selection of the wonderful players from Ashby Netball Club who have contributed to the 75 hour netball marathon this weekend - there have also been lots of visiting teams & businesses who have fielded teams too.

They have also broken 3 World Records throughout the 75 hours!! 😱

Pictured handing over the cheque for £54,190 to Sammie Fletcher (Co-Founder of Kids Village Charity) is Carla Garey, who’s idea it was to run the event, inspired by her own daughter’s experiences - along with event organisers Jenni Sawyer & Angela Stevens, who helped with the planning & ensured the whole event went smoothly.

You can also still make donations at https://netballmarathon.co.uk
