In July 2021, players from Hoylake Rugby Club set a Guinness World Record for the longest game of rugby.[5] Held in memory of Dan Miller, a former player who died aged 43, the record attempt was held to raise money for the charity WaterAid. Twenty-eight players set a world record by playing for 33 hours 33 mins and 33 seconds, raising over £17,000 in the process.[6]
