No, don't rub your eyes - that really was the scoreline at the end of the 57-hour soccathon we reported on Dot News yesterday. The two teams clashed (probably more and more slowly!) at Warwick University over the weekend, to raise £10,000 for the Meningitis Trust. They were moved to do so by the death from the terrible illness of former Badgers player Jamie Burdett. It was the teams' second soccathon, tough for all of them - but worth it. "The hardest thing was playing through two nights" says organiser Simon Lynes. "It got pretty cold and we got cramps." All players played in all positions in the two teams, only snatching five minute breaks, napping in the tents provided (picture) if they could. There was only one injury, to a player's foot - but even that team member came back from hospital to play on for 10 hours.



Makes some of the rolling about on the pitch in international football look PRETTY PATHETIC! Hope they do get their Guinness Record - they so deserve it.
