Messrs Lang, Toohey, Doran & Astwood were presented with a Sporting Heroes Award on behalf of Southport RFC at the Community Heroes Dinner this week.

Whilst we still wait to hear from Guinness that the time of 26 hours 36 minutes 02 seconds achieved on the never-to-be forgotten weekend last July is the official new world record, in the eyes of the Visiter readers everyone who played, organised and contributed to the attempt is a local hero. Terrific and thoroughly deserved recognition within our own town. Well done all, and to all the other Award winners on the night too.
