LOOSEHEADZ 2️⃣4️⃣ / 7️⃣
Sandbach RUFC is proud to be hosting LooseHeadz’ latest ambitious world record attempt this July, as players take on an extraordinary challenge: more than 24 hours of continuous rugby sevens, all in support of mental health in rugby.
The event, 24/7s, will see two marathon matches, one men’s and one women’s, kick-off at 12pm on Friday 24 July and continue through the night until after 12pm on Saturday 25 July. The aim is to go beyond the current Guinness World Record of 24 hours and 30 minutes, while raising vital awareness and funds for LooseHeadz.
Hannah Stallard, Head of Community at LooseHeadz, said:
“On the back of having hosted two hugely successful LooseHeadz RFC games over the last few years, Sandbach RUFC have shown their ongoing support for LooseHeadz and our work.
Upon speaking to Mike and the rest of the team at Sandbach, their passion for hosting 24/7s became immediately apparent and made this an easy decision for the team.
Their close proximity to Wilmslow where LooseHeadz was founded was another huge draw, giving us the opportunity to involve a number of those who have been with us since we launched in 2017.”
Andrew Bird, Director of Rugby at Sandbach RFC, added:
“Really privileged to be able to host such a great event, not only is it a potential world record but it also celebrates all the good work LooseHeadz does in the community. A lot of rugby players in the club have got an affiliation to LooseHeadz and some in a very personal way which makes this more special to us.
To be on the world stage and to add some of Sandbach’s uniqueness to it with our renowned hospitality is an honour. We are looking forward to welcoming people from the wider community and across the sport and regions to the club in July.”
The event will also feature some major names from the rugby world, with former England international and British & Irish Lion George Kruis and former England Rugby Sevens captain and World Sevens Player of the Year Ollie Phillips already confirmed to take part in the world record attempt.
