Knaresborough netballer aims to break world record for charity
A Knaresborough woman will attempt to break a world record tomorrow for the most netball goals scored in one hour.
To set the record, Sue Hobson, who plays goal shooter for the Hawks netball club in Harrogate, needs to shoot more than 756 goals - more than 12 goals a minute.
Sue is aiming to reach more than 900 goals in total and has already raised more than £1,100 for Saint Michael's Hospice in the process. To support Sue, click here.
Speaking about why she has chosen to fundraise for the charity, Sue said:
Sue has been training for this challenge since the beginning of lockdown, when her regular netball training sessions and matches stopped.
After setting herself challenges in her back garden, such as scoring 100 goals in a row, she began researching world records for netball.
Sue said the support from other local organisations, such as King James's School and Harrogate Netball League, have spurred her on to complete the challenge.
