The Capital NUNS Netball Club love for the beautiful game was sorely tested but fortitude, determination and bagels won through in July 2005 to see them break the World Record for Longest Ever Netball Match. Te attempt took place from 22-24th July 2005 at the Shell Centre, Southbank - in the heart of London and in the shadow of the London Eye.

The Club pledged to raise first £10,000 then £20,000 in fundraising for their chosen charity - Trinity Hospice in Clapham who help over 2000 patients with advanced illnesses and their families every year - and the final total reached over £30,000.

Costs for the attempt itself were kept to an absolute minimal thanks to the generosity of our sponsors: Shell provided free use of their facilities for the entire weekend. Deloitte & Partners, Darwin Rhodes Recruitment and Granherne sponsored the kit, Lucozade Sport provided free energy drinks and snacks and important training and nutritional advice leading up to the event and Masterfoods Confectionary the all-important 3 day supply of chocolate.
