As of 3:20pm on Sunday 12th August we are the unofficial World Record Holders of the most players in a game of touch rugby!

What a fantastic day, thanks for all those who took part, and special thanks to our partners the SRU, The Royal Bank of Scotland and Wooden Spoon.

458 players definitely clocked out after at least 10 minutes and the game was continuous (for all five hours and forty minutes).

You can watch edited highlights via the link below (although we are sure you all have your own!).

We have now started compiling the written and video evidence to send to Guinness for verification, and will keep you posted.

It was an amazing effort in dreadful weather conditions, the only casualty was our plan to collect money for Wooden Spoon our charity of choice. A few hardy souls dug cold hands into wet pockets, so thank you, but the attention was understandably elsewhere.

So, if you are feeling good about this, and generous, please look at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/keith-wallace1

Thanks again fellow record breakers!
