To celebrate its 90th anniversary and raise money for Sport Relief, England Netball decided to attempt the ultimate team challenge and set a Guinness World Records title for the Most players in a netball exhibition match.
An incredible 1,322 sportsmen and women came together to play for 90 hours with no rest breaks at the Play On Sports Centre in London, UK.
The entire game had to be played according to the standard rules and regulations of netball, as laid down by the International Netball Federation (INF).
Official Guinness World Records adjudicator Anna Orford attended the event and was thrilled to announce that England Netball has successfully achieved the title.
Each netball team that took part in the record attempt contributed a donation to Sports Relief, raising an approximate total of £20,000.
