Leeds Cricket Club attempts to break Guinness World Record for second year running

    Rodley Cricket Club, who play in the Bradford and District Cricket League, are attempting to set a marathon Guinness World Record beginning on Saturday 12th August at their home ground in Rodley, West Leeds.

    Following last year, which saw the Club successfully set the Guinness World Record for the most overs bowled in 8 hours (they achieved 734), the team will be attempting an even bigger challenge this year.

    During the Club’s Open Weekend, which is taking place Friday 11th - Sunday 13th August and expects to bring 1000 visitors to Rodley over the weekend, the team will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most overs bowled in 24 hours. For the Club to beat the record, they will have to complete an incredible 2,000 overs – equating to consistently bowling 6 balls every 45 seconds over the 24-hour period.
