FBS Team wins Cancer Challenge 2006

After 26 hours of continuous canoe polo at Hatfield Water Park Doncaster this weekend, the final victors were The Family Boat Shop Team with a final score of 276 goals beating team DBX's 263 goals (539 in total).

This sets a new World Record for the longest canoe polo match and the most number of goals scored by 38 the previous record was 501.

Most importantly the aim of the challange was to raise money for three cancer charities and so far a considerable amount has been raised with more money coming in. You can still donate on line at Donations on the Cancer Challenge website.

Congratulations to all that took part either playing, refereeing or doing one of the many tasks that kept the event running covering first aid, rescue, security, catering and organisation.
